About

As a Product Operations Manager, I’m focused on building scalable systems that align cross-functional teams and drive product success from strategy through execution. My experience spans early-stage startups to established organizations, always rooted in operational excellence, data-informed decision-making, and user-first thinking. At HouseCanary, I led the product management efforts for a critical new feature—defining user requirements, developing the release plan, and coordinating teams across product, engineering, and client success to ensure a smooth launch. This hands-on experience taught me how to translate high-level goals into actionable roadmaps. To streamline internal workflows and elevate product planning, I created and managed a JIRA board that centralized client and prospect feature requests. This not only improved quarterly planning but also tightened the feedback loop between product and end-users. Beyond execution, I championed customer enablement by establishing a self-service Zendesk portal, giving clients the tools to report bugs, request features, and access FAQs—reducing support load and increasing client satisfaction.
