I am your Queen of Spades. Like the spade itself, I dig deep—for stories, relationships, and products that matter. I aim to be equal parts rhythm and resolve, elegance and edge to blend creativity with discipline and strategy with soul.

With a foundation in international development and a career spanning nonprofits, Tetra Tech, and USAID, I’ve built my expertise at the intersection of communication, product strategy, and digital innovation. My strength lies in uncovering human insights and translating them into actionable, scalable solutions that drive real-world impact.

Now working in the tech sector, I bridge creativity and strategy to build user-centered products, streamline cross-functional collaboration, and guide teams through agile product development. I’m passionate about leveraging technology to improve user experience, increase access, and amplify global connection.

From California’s Central Valley to South Africa’s rural townships and Latin America’s bustling cities, I’ve learned that empathy and adaptability are the most powerful tools a builder can have. Those experiences shaped my approach: human-first, data-informed, and culturally aware.

Whether leading a product sprint, managing stakeholder communication, or crafting a story, I approach each challenge with curiosity and precision—always digging deeper to uncover what truly moves people.
