Here’s What I’ve Been Up To

Throughout my career, I’ve intentionally worked across diverse industries—from fintech, SaaS, and higher education to retail, non-profit, and more—to learn how to innovate, design impactful customer experiences, and communicate effectively with a wide range of audiences.

I’m a versatile, intuitive, and customer data–driven leader who quickly adapts to new environments, understands customers across verticals, and applies a test-and-learn mindset to drive meaningful innovative outcomes and exceptional experiences. My background allows me to see the big picture, act decisively, and stay curious and open to new possibilities.

I value collaboration and have consistently led cross-functional teams that innovate, grow together, and drive high-impact results.

Travel

I’ve lived in 10 different U.S. states and traveled widely across the country, in addition to visiting 12 countries throughout Central America, Europe, and Asia — from Costa Rica to China.

I love immersing myself in new cultures: trying unfamiliar foods, soaking in local fashion and customs, and connecting with people from all walks of life.

Some of my favorite moments? Getting left in the dust by a woman in high heels while I slowly climbed the super steep Great Wall of China. Diving into pastry shops in France. Watching late night flamenco dancing in Sevilla. White-knuckling across narrow railing-less bridges in Costa Rica. And stepping back in time to explore the medieval history of Great Britain.

Each trip inspires me, broadens my worldview and brings fresh perspectives to my life and work. There’s still so much of the world to see and experience – and I can’t wait to go!
