Senior Valuation Analyst at Exit Equity LLC. MBA, CVA. NACVA Member #27916

My career has been shaped by a deep passion for entrepreneurship and business strategy. I have spent years working alongside business owners, gaining deep insight into the growth, operations, and transition strategies of privately held companies, ensuring they maximize the value of their most important asset—their business. With a background that blends entrepreneurial experience and executive leadership, I am excited to partner with Exit Equity as we grow our presence in the Gulf Coast. With their high-tech systems in place, we take a modern, hands-on approach to business brokerage and M&A, making the process of valuing a business, buying, and selling more transparent and efficient. Whether we are helping buyers find the right opportunity or guiding business owners through a seamless exit, our goal is to bring clarity, confidence, and maybe even a little fun to the process! I take a relationship-first approach to M&A. Rather than viewing business owners as just another deal, I focus on long-term partnerships, ensuring they are fully informed and empowered throughout the process. Selling a business can feel overwhelming, but with the right strategy and execution, it can also be an opportunity for growth, legacy preservation, and financial success. I reside in Houston, Texas with my husband and our 3 girls. When I am not helping business owners with strategic exits, you can find me wake surfing, at the beach, teaching Bible study, and involved in our local church. Specialties: ? Mergers & Acquisitions ?
