I currently serve as the Chief Marketing Officer of Bass Rocks Asset Management, an options-focused investment firm where I lead brand strategy rooted in trust, clarity, and long-term value. The firm was founded by my husband, who also serves as Chief Investment Officer, and together we are building a long-term vision for smart, risk-conscious investing in today’s complex markets. Alongside this work, I am deeply engaged in venture capital and private markets. I co-founded The Founders Wing, a syndicate supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs, and served on the Senior Venture Team at Circle’s SeedInvest, where I advised and supported early- to growth-stage companies across industries. I’ve helped raise capital for small and midsize businesses and advised on private placements for high-growth startups in Silicon Valley and beyond. I’m a proud member of several investment and entrepreneurial communities including the Tory Burch Foundation, Women in VC, Wharton Angels, Pipeline Angels, Gaingels, and ForbesWomen. My recognitions include the Forbes Next 1000, Inc. 200 Female Founders, the Don Julio Entrepreneur Fund Award, and the Fearless Fund Hispanic Business Award. In addition to my work in finance and startups, I’ve co-founded Vamigas Botanicals—recognized by Inc. as one of the Top 200 Female-Founders—and Señora Era, a modern wellness and lifestyle platform rooted in ancestral wisdom and intentional living. These initiatives reflect my belief in honoring tradition, slowing down, and nurturing community. The Radical Señora Era book, which I co-authored, grew organically from the loyal community behind the Señora Era site and newsletter—offering a deeper reflection on healing, wellbeing, and cultural inheritance. Earlier in my career, I led Sales at a Kleiner Perkins–backed commerce startup (acquired), where I helped forge key partnerships with Netflix, Target, and Disney. My foundation in advocacy began with a college internship under Congresswoman Barbara Lee, shaping my lifelong commitment to equity and access. Today, I live in Northern California, where I prioritize intentional living—finding meaning in both the momentum of business and the quiet moments of everyday life. I remain committed to supporting founders, fostering inclusive investment ecosystems, and creating spaces—both professional and personal—that honor clarity, connection, and care. My work has been featured by the Today Show, People Magazine, Inc., Forbes, Elle, Vogue, OWN Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and Hispanic Executive, among others.
