Our Vision

To cultivate a vibrant and inclusive community of female entrepreneurs in Nevada, where innovation, collaboration, and mutual support thrive.

At FFAN, the term "female founders" encompasses women who have established their own businesses, which for us includes the terms founders, entrepreneurs, and small business owners. We highlight the pioneering spirit and leadership of women who have taken the initiative to start and lead their own ventures, and emphasize their role as trailblazers in Nevada’s entrepreneurial landscape.

We honor and acknowledge the women who have founded their own companies and we aim to provide the resources and networking opportunities that support continued success.

From Global Brand Architect to Nevada's Champion of Female Founders

With 15 years of experience scaling ventures across the globe, I understand the power of a successful business. From Sacramento to Singapore, I’ve witnessed firsthand the immense potential of high-performing entrepreneurs and purpose-driven companies. Yet I’ve also seen, and experienced, the unique challenges faced by female founders in their quest for success.

Driven by these experiences, I founded the Female Founders Alliance of Nevada. FFAN provides a vital support system for Nevada's ambitious women entrepreneurs, empowering them to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape and build impactful, sustainable businesses.

Leveraging my expertise in global digital strategy, business coaching, and branding, FFAN provides members with actionable tools, frameworks, and strategic guidance on their journey to build, launch, and scale their businesses. We foster a vibrant community where women can connect, share experiences, and learn from each other's successes and challenges.

Whether you're a budding entrepreneur with an innovative idea or a seasoned founder seeking to scale your impact, the Female Founders Alliance of Nevada offers a powerful platform for growth and success. Together, we’re building a vibrant ecosystem where women can thrive.
