Curious & Purposeful

A few notes on my personal North Star.

Who I am

Product, Technology and Being Human

I have spent my career at the intersection of product management, innovation, technology, and human-centered design. I'm naturally driven by curiosity, challenging the status quo, and the pursuit of positive impact — in my work and outside of it.

My journey in tech began as a front-end developer and UI designer, before fully taking shape within product management. I'm grateful for that foundation because it has always helped me understand the nuances of building technical products with engineers and how integral design is to the success of any product.

Fast-forward a decade, and guided by a love for building, my journey has been filled with a whole range of products that I have both managed (at early, mid, and large scale) and built from scratch: founding a mental health platform, building emerging tech for governments, and leading innovation efforts across multiple industries.

Over the last four to five years, I have become more passionate about the value of strong leadership. Stepping into a manager role opened my eyes to how much teams and people need good leadership, and how much I enjoy witnessing others grow, and feel genuinely supported at work.

No one's journey is perfect, mine included. At the heart of it all remains my dedication to learning, to maturing, and growing through the highs and lows; with the belief that the best products and teams are built with the same care you'd bring to caring for a person.

How I show up

Curious, Authentic and Kind

  • Be CuriousThe world keeps changing, people are different, and if we remain too rigid, we can miss out on evolving our perspectives, making new connections and evolving in new ways.
  • Have Difficult ConversationsGiving & receiving feedback isn't always easy but is so important for us to grow in new ways, and connect in deeper ways.
  • Keep LearningBeing aware that we all carry unchecked bias, and comfort creeps in (even when we least expect it). Always learning — from blockchain fundamentals to the mechanics of a good pilates sequence.
  • Show Up AuthenticallyBringing myself to the work in my most authentic way, and making room for others to do the same.
  • Lead with KindnessHolding high standards and a soft heart at the same time; people do their best work when they feel safe, and when care is built in, not bolted on.
What motivates me

Innovation, Big Missions & Strong Impact

  • Missions Bigger Than SelfWorking alongside dedicated people who are united by, and genuinely care about, a mission bigger than any one of us.
  • Ripple EffectsDisciplined product-led teams can change lives, especially when led by clear measurable impact, structure, transparency, and collaboration.

Let's build together.

Open to product leadership roles, advisory work, and conversations about wellness, innovation, or a really good cup of coffee.
