"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." - Helen Keller

How I got here

I began my career as a business journalist before pursuing graduate studies at Stanford University, where I developed a passion for geopolitics and innovation.

My path led me to the San Diego Union-Tribune covering military and general affairs, then back to Austin to work for a private geopolitical intelligence firm.

Today, I help clients, companies, and publications articulate their vision and mission with clarity. I also provide individuals and organizations with personalized intelligence briefings, custom reports, and special projects that bring insight to complexity.

My work has appeared in various publications including the San Antonio Express-News, San Diego Union-Tribune, American Business Journals, Crunchbase News, The Registry, and Stanford Daily.

What I’m about

I believe simplicity and clarity are essential. I thrive under pressure, respect deadlines, and aim to exceed expectations with a thoughtful, fresh, and positive approach.

I am passionate about geopolitics, history, art, architecture, archery, mixed martial arts, farming, sustainable development, and film. Beyond my professional life, I am a wife, mother, and global citizen who values integrity, character, and honesty above all else.
