Partner
Impact Management Group
What do you consider to be the defining moment of your career so far?
The defining moment of my career was becoming a partner at Impact Management Group, the first woman to hold this title in the company’s history. It was an empowering milestone that reinforced my commitment to advocating for my clients and shaping meaningful public policy. Equally pivotal was the 2023 launch of Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health, a nonprofit addressing maternal health disparities in Arkansas, where I serve as executive director. These two roles allow me to combine my professional expertise with my passion for improving the lives of families across the state.
Is there anything you would change about your industry?
I would love to see more women in leadership, both as elected officials and in more
decision-making roles. Diversity of thought and experience is critical to shaping policies that truly serve all communities.
What goals or milestones do you want to reach before you retire?
My ultimate goal is to continue the mission of shaping meaningful policy that makes Arkansas a better place for future generations. I also want to continue growing the firm my father started over 20 years ago and would love to one day see my daughter carry on the legacy we’re building together — if she chooses to work in the policy space, of course.
Is there another “power woman” who inspires you?
My mother is my biggest inspiration. Her resilience and passion for education taught me the value of empowering others and making a difference in their lives. She was the epitome of strength, kindness and generosity — a legacy my siblings and I are proud to carry on.
