What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Chief of Staff, strategy, or biz ops role where I can step into ambiguity, turn data into action, and help teams run more effectively. I’m drawn to fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and roles where I can work closely with leadership to build, scale, and drive meaningful impact.

I’m a Senior Director at LIV Golf, where I serve as a strategic right-hand to the President, leading cross-functional strategy and execution across a global sports platform.

Previously, I was an Associate at McKinsey, where I spent 2.5 years leading growth strategy, operational efficiency, and cross-functional transformation for clients in tech, healthcare, and financial services. Before McKinsey, I worked in content acquisition and commercial strategy in the media industry, negotiating $30M+ in deals and building new digital revenue streams for a streaming startup.

I hold a JD from Emory University and an MBA from the University of Virginia, bringing a unique ability to connect legal, business, and strategic considerations.
