FROM THE TOP
Getting the idea for a wireless carrier shortly after High School was easier said than done for a 17-year-old at the time. Having an endless love for tech and gadgets since elementary school, the ideas of technology translated into the dream of launching a carrier, marking a full circle moment.
​
When the thought to launch a wireless carrier emerged, she had just gotten her very first contract carrier but couldn't keep up with the excessive monthly bill after signing the contract. The excessive fees, over-data usage, and plan changes made the bill too much to handle.
​
At the age of 17, working her very first job and receiving monthly phone bills that exceeded her paychecks, the "aha" moment came while sketching ideas for a smartphone design.
​
She thought, "If I want to launch a smartphone, why not add my own phone service to it? I would create something that was more affordable, and kids my age could have access to cheaper but featured-filled phone plans."
​
After not revisiting the ideas again until 2017 and officially launching in December of 2018, it became official, and Tesix Wireless was open for activations.
