General overview of a typical day: Wake up at 6:30, coffee/breakfast, drop my son at school, get to the office around 8:30. At work, I divide my time among calls with private equity group and other investment groups, calls with clients, delegating project work and working with my team to move deals through our processes. Around 5:30 I’m either off to the gym or grabbing happy hour with friends. Then home for family time and wrapping up work for the day.

Favorite fashion of the moment: all kinds of leather-ish leggings!

Favorite hotspot to chat with other #ellevated women: My office in Dallas, TX — where I host a monthly Roundtable breakfast for other women in finance.
