About

🙋🏻‍♀️ I build AI products using data, behavioral science and first-principles thinking. I turn complex problems into products that people adopt and organizations value. 📌 At the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I transformed an open-ended question, "Could an AI companion improve teen sleep outcomes?" into a context-aware wearable chatbot. I leveraged RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback), rapid experimentation and feedback loops. This led to ↑ model performance by 50%, ↑ engagement by ~30%, while maintain user safety, AI trust and regulatory compliance. 📌 At Adobe, I learned that great product management is often about reducing complexity before building solutions. I drove experiment-led product development, streamlined decision-making and improved usability for internal engineering teams, resulting in a ~40% ↓ in scope creep, ~30% ↑ in app usability (Adobe Doc Cloud), and ↑ 11% feature adoption across pilots. 🏆 Highlights • Adobe Women-in-Tech Scholar (1 of ONLY 5 nation-wide) • Winner, Amazon AI for Social Good Award (800+ applicants) • AI PM Fellow, National Institutes of Health • Runner-Up, Microsoft Data Challenge I enjoy building at the intersection of AI, data, user behavior and business impact, whether that's launching 0→1 products, driving growth, improving UX or translating complex technology into measurable outcomes.
