About

Sustainability isn't a career pivot for me, it's where I started. My background in environmental science led me into climate tech, and into work that blends product thinking, customer success, and systems-level impact. I'm a product manager and customer success professional with experience across B2B SaaS and hardware-enabled platforms in mission-driven environments. I've owned product roadmaps, translated complex customer needs into engineering-ready requirements, and partnered closely with cross-functional teams to ship features that solve real operational problems. I'm equally comfortable in product strategy discussions, implementation workflows, and customer-facing conversations, ensuring what gets built stays grounded in real-world use cases and drives long-term retention. Whether shaping product direction or helping customers succeed, I focus on clarity, strong collaboration and practical results.
