πŸ““About me

I love building products with excellence and care. I got into tech when I started a business right out of graduate school. We built a recruiting marketplace/B2B SaaS tool for deskless workers. I learned a lot from launching with technical co-founders, scaling enterprise customer pilots, and hiring our first employees. Four years later, after getting acquired by an edtech company, I wanted to focus exclusively on product management. I've spent two years at Dropbox establishing product vision and launching new products in content collaboration. Looking forward, I am excited about ways to help people think and live better. This includes productivity, wellness, news, and food applications.
