πŸ““About me

I started my career in tech as a recruiter at Google. After many years as a recruiter, I realized I wanted to become a product manager but the path to get there wasn't clear. Most people had no advice for me while some told me to get my MBA. I had to get creative. Through persistence and hard work, I made my way into product management and really enjoy it!
