I have always been fascinated by the stories behind great businesses, from the initial idea to what brought it to life and what made it last. Having a front-row seat to the journeys of the next generation of consumer companies and getting the chance to play a small role in helping them unfold is something I am genuinely grateful for.
Prior to joining Stride, I was a Senior Associate at MidOcean Partners, a middle-market private equity firm focused on the consumer and business services sectors. Over the course of six years, I had the privilege of working with several exceptional consumer-oriented companies, including The Good Crisp Company, Nutpods, Image Skincare, and Empower Brands. During my tenure, I helped lead the formation of MPearlRock, a strategic collaboration with the consumer investment platform of The Kroger Co., designed to invest in and accelerate high-growth, emerging CPG brands. I joined Stride to continue partnering with disruptive brands of the future and their inspiring founders while also working alongside an impressive group of seasoned investors and operators.
Earlier in my career, I was an Analyst at Morgan Stanley, where I spent time advising companies in the business services sector on M&A and capital markets transactions.
I graduated from Middlebury College with degrees in Economics and Computer Science and played on the Varsity Women’s Golf Team all four years. Outside of work, and depending on the season, you can often find me on the ski slopes or the golf course. When I’m not enjoying the outdoors, my love for art history leads me to local museums and art galleries.
