Why is CEW membership important to you?

CEW membership has been transformative for my career. As a first-time founder with no formal industry experience, CEW has served as an amazing platform to connect with others in the space and help build a network from scratch.

Do you have any tips for getting the most out of CEW membership?

Go to as many events as possible! I’m learning just how integral building and maintaining industry relationships are, and from my experience, CEW events have served as the most organic opportunities to meet with and connect with other professionals in the beauty space.

What is the most exciting aspect of your current role?

Meeting new people; building relationships is hard, but there’s nothing more rewarding than meeting others who just click with you. Starting a beauty brand has introduced me to many women who have also followed their own paths, and whose journeys have inspired me to take more risks.

How do you spend your time when you’re not working?

Having started a skincare brand rooted in ancient Indian rituals, I am always exploring new ways to integrate holistic wellness into my life. Through building my brand, I’ve come to learn about beauty customs and traditions from around the world—most recently, I traveled to Morocco and immersed myself in some of the beauty rituals native to the country. On a more day-to-day basis, you’ll find me reading about and experimenting with personal care practices from around the world!
