While my professional experience spans finance, consulting, and startups, my earliest lessons in business came from working alongside my family’s small business in Dallas. I spent school breaks helping customers, unpacking merchandise, and traveling to trade shows around the country. It was not glamorous work, but it taught me how much care, consistency, and personal pride go into running a company. That foundation has stayed with me ever since.
Professionally, I have spent the last 15 years working across industries and continents—from the US to Asia to Australia. I started my career on Wall Street, managing acquisitions and capital raises across a range of sectors. I later transitioned into strategy consulting, helping companies and public agencies improve operations, strengthen teams, and navigate change. Most recently, I have helped build and scale startups—launching new ventures, mentoring teams, and leading day-to-day operations.
Today, I am applying that experience to find the right business to run myself—something I can grow thoughtfully, hands-on, and with a long-term mindset. I am not part of a fund or a roll-up group. I am an individual operator who is committed to continuity, people, and investing in what is already working. I am particularly drawn to companies where relationships matter—where trust, expertise, and service are at the heart of the business.
I earned an MBA from the Wharton School, an MA in International Studies from the Lauder Institute, and a BA in Economics and Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new neighborhoods on foot, hosting friends for dinner, and asking too many questions about how things work. I am excited to grow something lasting—and to be part of the community that comes with it.
