About

Not every career goes according to plan - mine certainly didn't, and I wouldn't change a thing. I originally pursued Computer Information Systems, but nearly nine years in SaaS showed me that real expertise is built through experience. Working across data operations, project management, and client success, I discovered where I truly thrive: at the intersection of people, process, and problem-solving. What's carried me forward in every role is a genuine passion for the work, a talent for building trust with clients and colleagues, and the ability to communicate clearly across teams and stakeholders. I don't just join teams - I invest in them.
