Overview
I am a CPA and MPA with a career built at the intersection of enterprise technology, AI, and financial services. I currently serve as a Director at CLA, where I focus on digital and software services business development, helping organizations modernize finance operations, evaluate and implement enterprise systems, and use technology to scale responsibly.
My background spans solution consulting and enterprise sales across leading platforms including Sage Intacct, Oracle NetSuite, and Amazon. I have partnered with financial services, nonprofit, education, and public benefit organizations to lead complex system transformations, design future state architectures, and deliver measurable operational and financial outcomes. My work includes building strategic alliances, launching go to market initiatives, developing executive level demonstrations and training programs, and supporting complex, multi stakeholder buying decisions.
Earlier in my career, I built a strong technical foundation in accounting and financial reporting, earning both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master in Professional Accounting from The University of Texas at Austin. I am a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the state of Texas, which informs my practical approach to governance, compliance, and financial integrity within modern technology environments.
I serve as a Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business, where I teach accounting and mentor future finance leaders. I bring this educator’s mindset into my professional work, helping clients not only select the right technology, but understand how to use it effectively to support governance, growth, and long term decision making.
