What I'm looking for

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

I am a results-driven Product Leader with over 15 years of experience in leading high-impact product delivery and strategic digital transformations across both federal and commercial sectors. My expertise lies in driving full lifecycle management of complex products, aligning stakeholders, and building scalable, user-focused solutions. I have a proven track record of launching mission-critical platforms and mentoring teams to translate business vision into powerful technology outcomes.

Currently, I serve as a Digital Product Manager for the NIH/NCATS ASPIRE program, where I lead product portfolio and project management in an Agile environment. My role involves collaborating with executives to define strategic program aims and translating high-level goals into actionable product roadmaps. I am passionate about championing user-centric design and optimizing development team productivity, ensuring the delivery of high-value software products that automate manual tasks and enhance laboratory efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built and maintained positive stakeholder relationships, from C-Suite executives to technical teams, and have led numerous modernization projects that significantly improve compliance and user satisfaction. I am committed to continuous improvement and innovation in product management, always striving to deliver exceptional results that align with organizational goals.
