ABOUT

Product/Program enthusiast with over a decade of experience in product knowledge, product education, program marketing, and vendor and user relationships; I am obsessed with how consumers interact with product. I'm a natural networker with an entrepreneurial spirit and an affinity for creating relationships across barriers of industry and interests. I am a visual and analytical thinker, communicative problem solver, and team player with confidence to take the lead. When not working, you can find me riding my single-speed around the city, hiking with my dog, or curating my next playlist.
