ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm a T-shaped product manager deep in technical execution and broad across industries and life experiences.

I've worked in Shanghai, Argentina, New York, and San Francisco, and I've successfully launched a VR game, AR game, mobile game, startup accelerator, beer ecommerce site, and renewable energy software. I've fenced internationally for USA in 7 countries, and am a NCAA Champion and four time Ivy League Champion. My hobbies include hydroponics farming, glassworking, and gaming.

I love helping teams build meaningful, user centered products. Feel free to reach out if you're looking for a product consultant, comissioned artwork, or are a woman in tech looking for mentorship.

My greatest strength is my ability to motivate and compromise between engineers, designers, and external stakeholders. In order to communicate easily, I must learn the languages of the trade. Here are the skills I'm working on.

Your sense of self is strong and thus your'e good at not getting distracted by what other people want from you, expect from you, or what they think you should value. You 're a very strong analytical thinker, you're hands-on versus theoretical, you answer the inherent human desire to create by honing artistic crafts.
