Expanding access to economic opportunity.
I've worked at the intersection of capital, entrepreneurship, economic development, and public policy to understand how opportunity is created and why so many people are excluded from it. Today, I build organizations, mobilize capital, and advocate for policies that help more people benefit from economic growth.
Why this matters
I started my career helping companies offshore operations before moving into private equity and later economic development. Those experiences gave me a firsthand view of how capital moves, how businesses grow, and how communities compete for jobs and investment. They also led me to a question that would shape the rest of my career: Who benefits from these systems and who gets left behind?
I saw talented entrepreneurs get left out, which led me to co-found StitchCrew, where we help women and minority entrepreneurs grow their businesses and compete for larger opportunities. Through that work, I began to see entrepreneurship differently.
Many of the women we supported weren't becoming entrepreneurs because they'd always dreamed of starting a business. They were doing it because traditional workplaces weren't designed with caregivers and families in mind. That realization led me to co-found VEST, which advances women's economic mobility through community, policy advocacy, storytelling, and collective action.
