About

I’m not your typical Product Manager. I'm a builder, a storyteller, and a problem-solver all in one. My expertise is in blending the strategic discipline of a Product Manager with the compelling voice of a Copywriter to create products that resonate deeply with users. My foundation as a Customer Service Specialist and Virtual Assistant has taught me to anticipate needs and build intuitive, efficient systems from the ground up. I thrive in the fast-paced, high-stakes environment of startups, where I can apply my diverse skill set to build, launch, and scale products that truly make a difference.
