About

Product teams often build what's technically possible rather than what users actually need. I help close that gap. My background in community building and content creation taught me to obsess over the audience, why they show up, what frustrates them, and what keeps them loyal. I bring that same lens to product: research-first, assumption-second. Paired with a CS degree, I can sit comfortably in conversations with engineers, designers, and stakeholders — translating between them without losing the user in the room. Open to PM and APM roles where user clarity drives the roadmap.
