I grew up in Las Vegas and consider myself a STEM advocate and a workforce champion and actively promote careers in technology and building talent pipelines. Though I've started a few companies in my lifetime, I see myself as a newcomer to entrepreneurism. Currently, I'm the CEO of three organizations that I've either founded or co-founded. One of those organizations is Tech Alley, a non-profit with a mission to strengthen communities by bringing people together, fostering a creative class, and creating an inclusive, diverse, and innovative technology and startup culture. We accomplish our mission by hosting monthly events that bring the tech and startup communities together to share knowledge, networking, and welcome folks to the entrepreneur ecosystem. It has been quite the adventure!
