These values guide me as a product manager and a human. I've always been passionate about understanding people's needs, creating thoughtful solutions, and making things better. I love partnering with others, listening deeply, working with care, stepping back to see the big picture, and leaning in to refine every detail.

Background

I studied engineering and began my career at Google in 2015, analyzing Gmail app bugs and supporting the launch of features like “Undo Send.” From there, I stepped into media and branding with a sustainable fashion startup, where I drove A/B testing and produced content that reached 40,000+ users. My 14+ years as a competitive athlete shaped the resilience and focus that carried into co-founding a wellness venture, where I built personalized fitness platforms serving clients worldwide. From launching fitness services to creating viral AR games like Pumpkin Patch, my work has spanned products, platforms, and tech-driven experiences. Today, I’m a Product Manager at Digital Aid Seattle, where I help transform complex challenges into scalable tech ventures. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across startups, tech giants, global brands, nonprofits, and solo ventures, building a multi-disciplinary range and adaptability that thrive in fast-moving environments. Currently surfing the AI wave.
