Jaya has consistently pursued the road less traveled. Trained as a scientist with a Ph.D. in Immunology, her transition into entrepreneurship was entirely accidental. What began as offering guidance to new mothers in online communities evolved into an affiliate marketing venture—her first small business—which has grown and flourished for nearly a decade.
Her interest in the financial markets began in 2020 with cautious long-term investments, accompanied by the early missteps common to new investors. By 2024, she expanded into short-term trading, applying the intense focus and analytical rigor imparted by her early training as a scientist.
As she rapidly absorbed knowledge, learned from her mistakes, recognized patterns and refined strategies, she realized that was a vast unmet need for the knowledge she was cobbling together. While are many trading communities that irresponsibly promise people that they can get rich quick, there are far fewer ones that responsibly educate about this complex area.
To address this need, she developed two structured courses offering distinct approaches to trading and investing, and this Trading with Smarts (TWS) was born in November 2024. Shortly thereafter, she introduced the TWS Support Discord, designed to provide structured insight into her daily trades while furthering the education initiated in her classes.
As of September 2025, Jaya has taught over 200 classes, marking the beginning of a growing community committed to informed, disciplined investing.
