What I'm looking for

I seek a user-first product role where I can own strategy to delivery, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive measurable growth in a data-driven, agile environment.

I am a Certified SAFe® 6.0 Product Owner/Product Manager with 4+ years of hands-on experience delivering products across telecom, utilities, and insurance domains. I specialize in product strategy, roadmap planning, PRD writing, user stories, and cross-functional collaboration to turn business needs into working features.

I have led end-to-end deliveries, defined hundreds of requirements, and produced high-fidelity Figma designs and wireframes that reduced development turnaround and rework. My work at Accenture (New York Life Insurance), PG&E, and Google Fiber included sprint planning, backlog management, UAT coordination, and improvements that increased delivery efficiency and reduced post-release issues.

I am data-driven and user-focused, experienced in user research, competitive analysis, A/B testing, and product metrics. Recognized as a Top Fellow in the NextLeap Product Manager Fellowship, I bring a pragmatic, user-first approach to building products that drive adoption and measurable business outcomes.
