What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in product management.

As a Product Manager with over 4 years of experience, I have successfully built 0→1 products in dynamic and high-ambiguity environments. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of launching MVPs, validating early-stage ideas, and iterating based on user feedback and data insights. I operate like a founder, making data-informed decisions even with incomplete information, and leading cross-functional teams to drive rapid product development from concept to market.

At 2U, I launched a program initiative that generated $5M in revenue and implemented MVP integrations that significantly reduced developer effort. My analytical skills allow me to track product performance and user behaviors, enabling me to identify growth levers and optimize user experiences effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments, leading teams to deliver data-informed product strategies and ensuring consistent user experiences across multiple partners.

My background also includes roles at naviHealth, where I launched a simplified triage system that resulted in substantial cost savings and improved customer satisfaction. I have a strong foundation in both product management and technical development, which empowers me to bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution. I am passionate about creating impactful products that enhance user experiences and drive business success.
