Testimonials
“Kelsey is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a team’s success and is an incredible addition to any organization. Her passion for working through problems that benefit the customer is unmatched. I truly miss working on Kelsey’s organized, dedicated, and committed team.”
“Kelsey is one of the most influential leaders I’ve had the privilege of meeting in my career. She constantly seeks to learn, making her an invaluable resource to any team. She is both a manager and a mentor, a true people developer. I look forward to the day that I have the opportunity to work for her again!”
“Kelsey leads with such fury and passion for a project, that it seems as if no stone is left unturned. This is something I strive to do myself, and have definitely gained perspective.”
“Kelsey is a demonstrated high-performer who consistently produces results above and beyond expectations. She is one of the most proactive individuals I have worked with, never being held back by lack of training, detailed instructions, or specific guidance. Her sense of personal accountability and responsibility to her colleagues and clients is unparalleled. Kelsey’s work product is always of the highest quality and reflects her creativity and attention to detail. Kelsey can produce not only quality work, but quantity as well. I could rely on her to complete projects in record time, thanks not only to her great work ethic, but also to her talent for organization and efficiency. Kelsey works hard, but she also works smart. She is highly intelligent, curious, and a skillful autodidact (self-directed learner) with a hunger for knowledge. Any employer would be fortunate to work with someone of Kelsey’s caliber.”

Calculating Odds for a Successful In Vitro Fertilization
Nearly 12 percent of women between the ages of 15 and 44 have difficulty conceiving and turn to fertility services, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But those services can be very expensive: A cycle of IVF, or in vitro fertilization, costs an average of $23,000, according to FertilityIQ.
Enter Univfy, a company founded by Dr. Mylene Yao, an obstetrician-gynecologist who has developed models to better predict a woman's likelihood of conceiving using IVF. Yao likens it to a "FICO score for fertility" -- a way of assessing a patient's risk factors and determining her chances of having a baby. (FICO scores are assessments of consumer credit used to determine eligibility for loans, among other financial services.)
