What do you consider your greatest personal or professional achievement?

Professionally, making partner at PwC at the age of 33 years old! Personally, I ran in the Miami Half-Marathon with Chai Lifeline and raised over $55,000 to benefit children with cancer, disabilities and other serious medical conditions.

What's the best advice—personal or professional—you've ever received?

Be comfortable being uncomfortable. Putting yourself in situations that may at first feel uncomfortable give you the opportunity to learn, grow and develop.

What does being honored as a Rising Star mean to you?

That I am making a difference and inspiring others. As a female technologist, I am uniquely positioned to attract and retain diverse talent in this space. This gives me the brand recognition to continue building and retaining top talent and developing teams of diverse highly-rated professionals.
