Future Plans
The intersection of the private sector, public policy, and philanthropy is my sweet spot.  I intend to continue working in tech focused on America’s role in AI innovation and leadership, advocating for agile and iterative governance approaches along with digital literacy programs to upskill workers and support businesses to ensure the US retains a competitive advantage over our adversaries.

What do you enjoy about MavPAC the most?

MavPAC has been special since the beginning.  From being a chapter leader in Austin back in 2011, to seeing how it has grown and matured as an organization into the professional group it is today, I’ve enjoyed each phase of its focus on principled leaders who uphold conservative values.

Fun Fact

If I’m not hosting dinner parties or hiking with Barnabas, I’m probably traveling.  This summer my mom and I are biking 200 miles through Slovenia, Croatia, and Liechtenstein!
