What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values user experience and offers opportunities for growth in product management and quality assurance.

I am a dedicated Product Owner with a strong background in quality engineering, specializing in healthcare SaaS platforms. My experience spans over 13 years, where I have successfully aligned product strategies with customer needs and business objectives. I excel in Agile methodologies and stakeholder engagement, ensuring that every product I work on is user-centric and of the highest quality.

In my current role at Ascension Technologies, I assist in backlog management, user story writing, and stakeholder alignment for a consumer-facing healthcare engagement platform. My ability to foster clear communication across teams has accelerated delivery timelines and enhanced product quality. I am recognized for my analytical thinking and leadership, which have been instrumental in driving digital transformation and supporting data-driven decisions.
