About

I build high-impact partnerships that help cybersecurity companies scale, partners win, and customers solve complex security challenges. With more than a decade of experience in channel sales, alliance development, and go-to-market strategy, I’ve spent my career helping organizations turn relationships into measurable business outcomes. Today, I lead strategic channel initiatives at Dropzone AI, where we’re transforming the SOC through agentic AI and helping security teams respond faster, operate more efficiently, and maximize the value of their existing investments. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the industry’s most respected partners, customers, and security practitioners. I thrive at the intersection of strategy, execution, and relationship building—creating programs that drive growth while delivering meaningful value to the cybersecurity community. As a wife, girl mom, and advocate for women in technology, I’m passionate about helping others grow their careers and creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders. Whether I’m building partner ecosystems, mentoring emerging talent, or collaborating with customers to solve difficult challenges, I believe success is built on trust, authenticity, and showing up for people. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about cybersecurity, channel innovation, AI, or building partnerships that make a real impact.
