I work at the intersection of education, business, and innovation. At the Dakri Center for Economic Inclusion at the University of Houston, I lead programs that translate complex ideas into clear outcomes and scalable impact. Raised in a secondhand bookstore, I learned early how education and entrepreneurship unlock potential—and I’ve since helped over 1,200 Houston-area businesses grow by building systems, training teams, and developing strategic partnerships that work.
