EXPERIENCE

Built Through Experience. Informed by Perspective.

My experience comes from being in the seat myself. I've built a company from the ground up, navigated its growth, developed strategic partnerships and ultimately sold it to David's Bridal.

From building a nationally recognized digital brand to navigating an acquisition and advising other business owners, her work is rooted in understanding what it takes to create, grow, and realize the value of a business.
