St. Petersburg, Florida, United States
I work in engineering operations, helping technical teams run smoothly and scale efficiently. Currently on the Build Operations (engineering, product, and design) team at Zapier, I focus on streamlining workflows, improving processes, and keeping Engineering, Product, and Design aligned with company goals. I’ve always been drawn to learning and growth - whether through earning my Master’s in Information Technology, getting certified as a PMP, or just figuring things out as I go. I enjoy creating space for new ideas and helping others, especially when it helps people feel more confident and connected. Teaching in Thailand early in my career shaped a lot of how I approach work: with curiosity, empathy, and an appreciation for different perspectives. I care about making things better - whether that’s how a process works, how a team communicates, or how someone feels showing up to work.
In 2020, I fulfilled a dream of mine by teaching English as a Second Language at Assumption College Lampang in Thailand. During my time there, I managed classrooms of 25+ students, creating engaging and skill-appropriate lessons that helped students advance to the next level in their English speaking, reading, and writing abilities. My passion for the English language, teaching, and communication drove me to make a meaningful impact on my students' education during a challenging time.
