As the Co-Founder and President of Contemporary Tiny Homes, I’m driven by a deep passion for making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I truly believe that the Accessory Dwelling Units we build can transform the way people live—whether it's bringing families closer together through multigenerational living or helping homeowners generate passive income to ease the financial burden of rising costs. In a world where the housing crisis and high inflation weigh heavily on so many, I’m proud to be part of a solution that offers real opportunities for comfort, security, and growth.With over 20 years of leadership experience across technology, finance, consulting, and pharmaceuticals, I’ve had the privilege of starting products, services, and teams from the ground up, both in my own startup and in large corporations. But what excites me most is the chance to build something that truly matters—homes that not only meet a need but also enrich lives.Outside of work, my greatest joy comes from spending time with my wonderful husband and our four beautiful children. You’ll often find me sailing the open waters or riding my motorcycle, embracing the adventures that life brings.

Nashville, Tn, Us

I developed a Trading Cost Analysis (TCA) framework to analyze not only traders' performance but also the brokers' performance regarding best execution, and how their performances varied with characteristics such as order size, market cap, volatility, liquidity, average daily volume, hour of the day, bid-ask spread, and others.My analysis provided the traders with parameters to fine tune their execution such as using different algorithmic trading strategies, or being more or less aggressive, depending on characteristics of the order and of the market.Additionally, using Monte Carlo simulations, I worked on finding the optimal limit price offset in price impact models, in bps with respect to arrival price, as a function of characteristics of the order and market.
