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 better understand how people think, what customers need, and how innovation happens in different environments.

I’m a versatile, intuitive, and customer-focused leader who adapts quickly, loves learning new industries, and brings a test-and-learn mindset to solving problems and building better experiences. My background helps me connect dots across teams and disciplines, see the big picture, and stay open to new ideas and possibilities.

I deeply value collaboration and genuinely enjoy building alongside smart, creative people who want to make things better.

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.
