About
A proud member of the Mvscogee tribe, I am a Native daughter from Oklahoma who grew up with a strong sense of heritage and identity and a deep knowing that self identity is undeniable. The discussion of marginalization and colonization has been active in my family since I can remember: beginning with, “a young lady is to be seen and not heard,” racism within my own family, racism directed at my family and being openly out at the age of sixteen.
I invested decades into my education and experience in an effort to fit into an ‘elevated’, classist system of white male success. Feeling like I was playing a game without a sense of the rules, I chose to dedicate my work and efforts to understand the games of money and success in an effort to elevate the experiences of my clients. I took the leap to work with people that aligned with my vision of business, leadership, and the future. My work is to amplify their voices through their successes and confidence as leaders in business.
For over a decade, I’ve worked with founders, startups, and entrepreneurs optimizing business models, raising capital, and bringing visions to life: reshaping how business gets done and shifting the balance of power and money, together.
