About

I'm a Product Manager and Co-Founder based in San Francisco with experience in healthcare IT and sports media. I have an MBA with a concentration in AI from Arizona State University and a BS in Computer Science from the University of Florida. I define product vision, ship user-centered features, and use data and AI to drive results. For example, 200%+ download growth on a trivia app and streamlining 50,000+ patient admissions in healthcare. I'm certified in Google Project Management and Agile, and I use tools like Jira, Figma, Mixpanel, and modern AI assistants to move fast and stay aligned with users and stakeholders.
