A bit about me

My natural inclination to lead, connect, and solve problems is key to my success. I thrive on hearing user stories and understanding their needs, which helps me create meaningful connections between stakeholders, teams, and the product vision. My passion for constant improvement drives me to optimize processes, ensuring each product iteration is better than the last. Whether it's gathering insights, refining a roadmap, or aligning cross-functional teams, I approach every challenge with creativity, curiosity, and a commitment to leaving things better than I found them. My love for detail (like glitter) reflects a keen eye for ensuring every product experience feels well-crafted and polished!
