Founders

Founder

CEO @ Loula I'm a Brooklyn-based health tech nerd and former software engineer, obsessed with empowering independent perinatal healthcare providers (think doulas, midwives, and lactation consultants) and making their services more accessible to those who need it most. Prior to starting Loula, I studied CS at Stanford and was a software engineer at Lyft and Stripe. When I'm not working on Loula, I'm throwing pottery, riding my bike, watching tv, or decorating my apartment :)
