Pull up a chair
Leadership, like a great conversation, starts by listening, learning and contributing. My path, from learning to leading, has been shaped by the power of connection.
​My journey began in education, where I spent a decade teaching and advocating for neurodiverse students, shaping my ability to connect with individuals in meaningful ways. For the past 22 years, I’ve brought this same passion for collaboration and innovation to the financial services sector, working with teams to navigate complexity with insight and empathy.
With a BA in French Literature from Brown, an MA in Education from Columbia, and an MBA in Finance from Yale, I’ve built a foundation that blends analytical thinking with human connection. But what I love most? Gathering around a table with the people I care about. Sharing stories, experiences, and laughter over a great meal. Because at the heart of everything I do is a belief that the best ideas, the strongest teams, and the most transformative moments come from real connection.

So, pull up a chair. Let’s start a conversation.
My Story
My through line was crafted long before I had words for it. As a kid, my dad and I would spend weekends watching VHS tapes containing ads that were being tested. Simple stories that could make you laugh, make you feel, make you act. I didn’t know it then, but I was absorbing something profound: the power of connection. The way the right story, with a simple through line, could cut through the noise and straight to the heart.
Years later, I found myself standing in the chaos of leadership, trying to hold it all together while everything shifted. I had to unlearn the idea that leadership was about control and certainty, because it wasn’t. It was about tuning out the static, stepping into discomfort, and listening. Really listening.
And in the hardest moments, when the pressure was high and I felt completely out of my depth, I’d come back to that lesson. Those VHS tapes, the power of a through line, and the way relationships shape us. That was always a truth, I just had to take the time to listen to it.
