About

I am a seasoned legal executive with two decades of experience advising high-growth companies across the tech, wellness, and services sectors. She has served as General Counsel, Data Protection Officer, and VP of Legal in fast-paced, global environments - leading commercial transactions, navigating complex privacy and compliance frameworks, and advising on high-stakes employment issues. After years of building legal functions from the ground up, I launched a fractional practice, Houston Legal Advisors, to provide strategic, hands-on legal support to scaling companies that need executive-level guidance without the cost of a full-time hire. I partner closely with founders, operators, and legal teams to deliver pragmatic, real word solutions.
