About

I’m a seasoned SaaS leader with 12+ years of experience driving growth in high-performance, fast-scaling tech environments. I joined Qualtrics when it had fewer than 100 employees and helped scale the company to over 6,000. I led cross-functional initiatives, building high-impact teams, and delivering results through both customer success and operational leadership. I hold an MBA from Utah Valley University (graduated top of class) and a Bachelor’s in Finance from Brigham Young University. Outside of the corporate world, I’ve always had an entrepreneurial drive. I’ve worked as a real estate agent, launched a youth soccer business and now a golf business, and experienced the joy of building something from scratch that creates real impact. Seeing kids grow in confidence through play reminded me of what truly matters, which is empowering others to grow and succeed. I want to make an impact in my community and I feel like sports can do that. I am looking forward to doing that in the Tucson area.
