Founder and COO

Strong Haulers was a digital health startup built to make symptoms predictable for people with Long COVID, concussions, and other complex chronic illnesses. Our platform generated personalized, data-driven reports by combining symptom logs, activity levels, weather, and wearable data into one clear interface that helped patients understand their triggers and advocate for better care. As co-founder, I led product development, media strategy, operations, accounting, legal, hiring, fundraising, and ultimately dissolution. The company was featured in WIRED, presented at TechCrunch Disrupt, and was launched on stage with Chelsea Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2022. We built a working prototype and ran a pilot where users used our data to challenge insurance claims, collaborate more effectively with physicians, and validate the patterns they were experiencing. Our users said it best: “With just a short period of tracking, I was able to validate clear relationships between my activities and symptoms—insightful for both my self-care and my medical team.” “Your tool showed me that my anxiety and depression didn’t always track together. We uncovered triggers—like isolation—that were affecting me in ways I hadn’t recognized.” “This is the fourth tracker I’ve used, and it has the most current value and future potential for me as a long COVID warrior.” “I share my tracking data with my medical team to evaluate treatment effectiveness and shape new care plans.”
