CEO, Co-Founder at Pandia Health, Inc

Pandia Health provides the end to end solution for prescription birth control - from an online doctor's visit for a prescription to medicines delivered to your door.

When I was 15, I ran a pregnancy test, but it wasn't for me, it was for a 13 y/o patient, when I was volunteering at Planned Parenthood as a pregnancy test results counselor. The results of that test changed both of our lives forever. It made me realize what different trajectories our lives would be taking – she'd become a teen mom at 13 and I'd be going off to college at MIT, medical school at UCSF, Children's Hospital Oakland for pediatrics, UCSF again for Adolescent Medicine, back to UC Berkeley for MPH in Maternal Child Heath, eventually, Associate Professorship at Stanford, and now CEO of a women's health company. What a different life she could've had, had she had access to comprehensive sexuality education, free birth control, and inspiring SheHeroes so she would avoid pregnancy to achieve her life goals.
