Shula's superpower is being a superconnector, connecting others to their passions and meaningful opportunities. This emerged in high school when she leveraged her role as co-chair of an annual charity fundraiser as a means of amplifying individual students' strengths, leading them to raise over $200,000. Her commitment to authentic leadership and superconnecting carried through her time at Vanderbilt, where she was President of Women in Business, a Tour Guide, a TA for Corporate Strategy, and a leader at Hillel. She also served as chair of the annual summit for the Excel Fellowship, a program focused on bringing together the next generation of Jewish business leaders. Now, she has taken these experiences of amplifying others' strengths and combined it with her natural drive to turn big-picture thinking into actionable results in her role at Curious Cardinals. In her free time, you can find Shula curled up with a good book (especially historical fiction), planning an upcoming travel adventure, or searching for the best local coffee shop.
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. Educated by Tara Westover. Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate.
Shortly after graduating college, I was looking for an opportunity to get hands-on experience and I was fortunate to have a mentor who took a chance on me. Despite having no real work experience, she believed in my potential and gave me tremendous responsibility. This opportunity changed my career trajectory by launching me into a career in startup ops.
I deeply resonate with the idea of lifelong learning. I always loved going to school, and the opportunity to be challenged whether it is in my job or by friends and family is the thing that gets me most excited. I am book and podcast obsessed -- whether it is about business, education, wellness, or simply someone else's life perspective, I think there is always an opportunity to learn and expand my worldview!
I want Curious Cardinals to leverage the power of connection to open students' eyes to all the opportunities before them. Through uniquely personalized learning, Curious Cardinals can change young peoples' idea of what is possible, and I cannot wait to see the impact this has on the next generation as we do this at scale.
