For as long as I can remember, even in the depths of my adolescence, an impactful life was of the utmost importance to me. I didn’t know how I was going to accomplish this back then, but I knew that I would do whatever it took to do so. If you ask my mother, I always chose the most difficult road to accomplish my goals rather than the path of least resistance. I now know that every decision I’ve made and hardship I’ve navigated has led me to where I am today.

Perseverance and resilience are two values that I embody in everything I do. I’m not always the smartest person in the room, but I sure am the hardest worker. I played softball my whole life, through college, and once I accomplished that goal, I was forced to set my sights on the next mountain that I would climb. I saw how hard my parents worked to provide for us and wanted to do whatever it took to ensure I would not have to struggle to do the same for myself. I decided to take my LSAT and accepted a scholarship to attend the University of Tulsa College of Law.

Upon graduation, I wanted to move back to Texas, and I worked judiciously to find a job where I could begin my journey. The economy was not great at the time, but I found my diamond in the rough, working for a national R&D tax firm with no prior tax experience. I spent several years here and was ultimately able to make a move back to my hometown Austin, Tx, working for a small boutique firm in the R&D space. From here, I was recruited to be an equity partner at a firm in California, only to realize months later that they were low on capital and could not fund the department any longer.

I found myself at a crossroads, I was about six years into my career and an expert in the tax credit space, but I had failed, for all intents and purposes, while trying to level up. This was a defining moment in my life where I truly had to dig deep to determine my next steps. They say entrepreneurship is about taking risks, and that’s exactly what I did. I started my own business leveraging the relationships I had fostered over the years and was able to marry my expertise with these relationships to deliver amazing results. I have since partnered with the amazing people at Forefront to create a department where we can deliver comprehensive value to our clients.

I am passionate about what I do because I am able to deliver monetary value to people who want to make the world better by taking risks and starting companies. I am extremely passionate about entrepreneurship and giving individuals, especially women, the leg up they need to take that leap. It’s always worth it; you never fail, and you always learn.
