> CEO, Blue Ocean Global Technology Founder, Abraham Lincoln Scholars        Co-founder, LegalExperts AI

For more than two decades, I’ve advised executives, founders, and family offices, law firms on high-stakes matters particularly where reputation, valuation, and risk intersect. An active litigation consultant, I serve as a testifying expert witness in economic damages, intellectual property, and internet defamation matters. 

I actively support the next generation of female entrepreneurs through my collaboration with Girl Power Talk and Girl Power USA. I currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Abraham Lincoln Association and Abraham Lincoln Long Nine Museum. 

I’m a graduate of Georgetown University, and have previously held leadership roles at Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and Scotiabank. My association memberships include the Academy of Legal Studies in Business (ALSB), American Bar Association (ABA), National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), Organization of American Historians, Society of International Business Fellows (SIBF), The Lincoln Group of DC, and Ulysses S. Grant Association.
