ABOUT ME
I am a steadfast believer in education. As someone very important to me once said 'it is the one thing that can never be taken away from you'. I started my academic career at 27 years of age, late in life by traditional standards. No matter your age, no matter your background, be passionate and work hard toward your goal and you will achieve them.
My first subject of study was in psychology, and I was fortunate to have received an incredible foundational education from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, graduating in 2005.
​
From there I moved into business and was awarded my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Texas Christian University in 2012. I came out of the work force full time following the 2008 crash and the timing couldn't have been better. I landed my first post MBA job at Frito-Lay North America in Finance, and my business career took off.
​
After years of working in roles for both traditional corporations and private equity ventures, I decided to pursue my life long goal of obtaining my PhD. In 2019 I was admitted to the Executive PhD. program and Oklahoma State University. The rest of that story is still being written.
