A true Dallas Fort Worth native, Debra's journey has taken her from the heart of Texas, graduating from UNT, to boardrooms and companies around the world. Having spent a large part of her career at EY, she is an advising expert for high growth companies and entreprenuers alike - leaving her mark on the corporate landscape.

Post-college, Debra faced challenges that shaped her into who she is today. Auditing for major corporations, she encountered barriers simply for being a woman. Imagine being barred from the executive floor and confined to work out of a supply closet! Yet, these obstacles became stepping stones, teaching her the art of adaptation and the necessity of style flexibility. Now retired, Debra remains proactive and busy by sitting on boards of both corporate public and private companies.

Hear Debra's story, from her early days out of college to the serendipitous moments that changes the trajectory of her career.
