About Me

I am a California native, and after a 10-year stint in Idaho, I went on to earn my bachelor's degree in Global and Cultural Communication and Women’s and Gender Studies from Suffolk University in Boston.

After working in strategic communications and digital marketing, I made the switch to product in 2020 and didn’t look back.

I’m a twice Six Sigma-Certified Scrum Master and Product Owner and I’ve completed courses in technical literacy for non-engineering tech leaders as well as an agent academy for forward-deployed Product Managers working with agentic integrated development environments.

I have a keen awareness of small details, which allows me to comb through requirements, designs, and prototypes with cross-functional team members to assess the value, quality, scalability, and cohesiveness of digital products.

I worked in financial technology solutions for a leading SMB lender for three and a half years, establishing myself as a technical, customer-focused leader in a highly regulated industry.

In 2025, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition for which there is no cure. This led me to pursue a certificate as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), where I found my passion in Yin yoga, a slow-paced style that places healthy stress on the deep connective tissues that hold our ligaments, tendons, and muscles together. Yogic philosophy and the physical practice that accompanies it is a huge influence in my life.

I am currently the Director of Product at an AI-powered document workflow solutions company trusted by healthcare, government, legal, financial, insurance, education, and enterprise partners.

I’ve lived all over the US and Mexico, but I’m currently settled sunny South Park, San Diego. You can usually find me teaching yoga in the park, baking yet another loaf of banana bread, enjoying the embrace of the ocean, lost in a good book, tending to my backyard beehive, or planning future travels.

 My Values

  • This is what makes the world go round, and it’s the philosophy by which I operate my life. I believe that we each make more of an impact on others than we know, and that the impact of a simple kindness can change someone else’s world.

  • We all know the feeling of not being able to see the forest for the trees. Developing a vision for the future and working backwards to get there is how I believe life’s best experiences (and software’s best products) are had. (Disclaimer: I do not have a 5-year plan.)

  • Truly, I think this is why I am a Product Manager. It was all born of the idea that I could help a business owner solve for challenges via the infinite universe of software. I got excited by saying, “Yes, we can build that!” When I get to tell a QA engineer that I wrote the new feature’s test cases for them and they light up, it motivates me.

    It goes beyond work, though. Yes, I want to pick you up from the airport. Yes, I would be happy to pick you up a coffee on the way. Yes, let me grab you some eggs because I’m already at the store. Stain on your shirt? I have a Tide-to-Go pen in my bag. Forgot your lunch? I keep emergency tuna pouches in my desk drawer.

    You get the picture.

  • You don’t know what you don’t know. Sometimes it’s hard to ask questions because you don’t even know which questions to ask. I aim to remember that everyone has something to teach me.
