Through this role, she supports initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion across the legal and space industries—particularly for women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and communities of color.
She mentors aspiring attorneys through the University of Denver Sturm College of Law’s Professional Mentoring Program and is a passionate advocate for inclusive space policy and the future of human space travel. Her approach to law and leadership is grounded in discipline, curiosity, and a drive to serve—values that also shape her personal pursuits, from earning a black belt in Kung Fu to becoming certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers.
