My Journey

I come from a family of builders, people who made things happen where opportunity didn’t always exist. My great-grandmother, Ester Katz Engel, was one of the four original investors in the Moulin Rouge—the fifth hotel-casino ever built in Las Vegas—at a time when women were forbidden from even having their own bank accounts. She originated the Vegas-style showgirl revues and championed desegregation, making the Moulin Rouge the first hotel-casino to welcome all races.

My grandfather, Jerry Engel, carried that same spirit working as the only CPA in Vegas when the town only had one traffic light. Grandpa Jerry was universally trusted by casino owners, entertainers, mob figures, and legitimate business leaders who were literally building an empire in the sand.

That entrepreneurial DNA shaped my own path. In 2019, I built one of the first and largest CBD businesses in the country and later pioneered the first Delta-8 THC cartridges made from hemp, selling over a million units. From there, I scaled into one of the biggest hemp derived THC enterprises nationwide, formulating over 200 distinct products and manufacturing for multiple private labels, including global exclusive rights to The Wailers cannabis brand.

I also pushed deeper into biotechnology, developing patented yeast strains and processes to produce bioidentical, medically rare terpenes—making consumer-based wellness and home products that were once impossible to source at scale.  And now entrenched in the sale of 4-HO-DET psychedelics.  

That focus on health innovation extended into far infrared therapy, where I authored the most comprehensive book on the science and applications of FIR and now serve as executive manager for Relax Sauna, the third-largest sauna company in the United States. I also created Sol Ray, an FIR product line designed to bring high-level wellness technology into homes and professional settings.

Parallel to my wellness work, I co-founded Quantum Collective (QC), applying AI and machine learning to sports wagering analytics. My social media work in wagering allowed me to accumulate over 100,000 followers, before being banned for "gambling content." This effort produced a bestselling book and a professional course teaching bettors how to play with the house rather than against it, leveraging game theory and data science to shift the odds in their favor.

Today, I’m enrolled in the Graduate Studies Program at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business, pursuing my PhD in AI/ML Data Sciences. My AI businesses and research span biotechnology, wellness, and advanced analytics, with international offices in Paris, France, and Geneva, Switzerland—a global footprint reflecting both vision and reach.

My hobbies? I love to read, be high and travel the world.
