About

I was raised in the Carolinas by two exceptional role models: a retired Army General Officer and high school principal who instilled in me an unshakable work ethic, a sense of loyalty, and the belief that your word is your bond. A mother whose compassion and quiet strength taught me to always put others first. From them, I learned that reputation is what others say about you, but character is what you show when no one is watching. Over the course of my career, I’ve built and led high-performance teams across sales, marketing, and operations—spanning Fortune 100 companies, nonprofit organizations, and fast-paced startups. Whether scaling new initiatives, raising capital, or driving operational excellence, I bring a disciplined, people-first approach that delivers results and fosters long-term growth.
