Miami born and raised, I left for school and (like any good Floridian) came right back to launch my career. I earned my bachelor’s from Auburn University and a master’s from the University of Notre Dame—both in accounting—and picked up my CPA soon after. Auburn was a truly transformative chapter for me; the people, community, and opportunities I found there helped shape how I show up professionally, and the kind of impact I strive to have on others.
I began my career at EY in Assurance before jumping to Royal Caribbean Group, where I spent eight years across Internal Audit and Destination Development. In development, I helped drive Royal Caribbean’s commercial strategy across the Caribbean and the U.S. East Coast. Before joining Embark, I served as CFO for a fast-growing mechanical contracting company that had grown out of its shoes. I focused on stabilizing financial and operational processes, modernizing the tech stack, strengthening reporting, and deepening key stakeholder relationships.
Today at Embark, I’m a SVP of Business Development and the Miami Market Leader. I get to build Embark’s presence as a trusted advisor in the South Florida business community—connecting great people to solve complex challenges, every day.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with my growing family in the Florida Keys or out on the boat, building something around the house, or mapping out our next road-trip adventure. I’m happiest near the ocean and outdoors, and I try to spend as much time as I can exploring both.
