About

I pivoted from fitness and retail management into tech in 2018, and my utility-knife skillset has taken me across Customer Success, Product Management, Technical Support, and Web Development.

I'm happiest at the intersection of technical troubleshooting and human interaction; Digging into how things work, untangling complex problems, and finding elegant solutions that actually work for people.

I'm adaptable, endlessly curious, and I enjoy being the person who can connect the dots between customers, technology, and the teams building the product.
