Career Background:

Before joining Swingle Collins & Associates, I was the Director of Client Services at MarketScale, a leading Dallas-based B2B media and software platform. I hold an MBA from the University of Texas and have held roles at Mark Cuban Companies and The Richards Group, where I led strategic partnerships, marketing campaigns, media rights negotiations, and cutting-edge digital initiatives.

What am I doing – describe your current role and objectives:

As a Commercial Risk Advisor at Swingle Collins & Associates, I specialize in assisting businesses and real estate owners with their insurance needs. Our Dallas-based firm has the capability to place coverage anywhere in the world. Being a privately held and independent firm allows us to be carrier agnostic and provide a wide range of coverage options, including Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance, cargo insurance, and workers' compensation.

Connections trying to make:

I'm seeking to connect with fellow alumni who are business leaders, entrepreneurs, property owners, or professionals in industries needing assistance with risk management or insurance.
