I am a concert violist turned Army National Guard - 72E MOS (combat telecommunications specialist) turned FBI fingerprint analyst turned brand and marketing strategist.

Over the years, my eyes and ears have tuned into being fascinated with nuance and learning to question everything. For over 25 years, I have helped health, digital tech, and social impact teams from urban and rural cities to HBCUs confront their cognitive biases to transform big ideas that scale while crafting compelling and unique narratives that invite markets and investors to support them.

What we know and assume the market will accept is tenuous. My job is to get innovators on solid ground.

In addition to working with innovators and their teams, I have designed and led a Health Equity accelerator for a billion-dollar organization (American Heart Association). One Entre-SLAM business storytelling event became the AHA's National Health Equity accelerator. Since 2017, Entre-SLAM has led 18 accelerators, and cohort candidates have excelled in their market categories, from being acquired to raising millions in seed, Series A, and B financing.

With roots in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I come from a long line of storytellers. I graduated from the University of Michigan (Go BLUE!) and Stanford University's Graduate School of Business's Leadership and Innovation program (LEAD '22).
