Research

My research focuses on exploring the financial challenges and opportunities faced by underrepresented entrepreneurs, particularly women, immigrants, and first-generation founders in the United States.

I aim to investigate and tackle the barriers to startup funding, including access to capital through traditional and alternative means, such as SBA loans and diversity-focused programs.

Additionally, I am interested in the role of financial literacy, mentorship, and resource networks in empowering these entrepreneurs to overcome obstacles and succeed in the startup ecosystem.

My research focuses on:

• Financial literacy for entrepreneurs

• Barriers to startup funding

• Diversity in startup financing

• Mentorship for underrepresented founders

• SBA loans and minority support programs
