What I'm looking for

My ideal job would be to work with startups or any organisations that are solving problems relating to improving people's lives and well-being. I'd love to be able to use the skills I’ve developed in both my personal life and career, to help reduce shame and aloneness, empower people, and increase confidence and joy.

With more than three years of experience as a product leader, partnering with cross-functional teams to build products that create value for users, I have influenced leadership decisions on vision, strategy, and direction, and motivated teams to bring that vision to life.

My design background (over ten years of experience) has instilled in me a strong focus on user experience, accessibility, and aesthetic consistency.

Three years freelancing as a web developer and another two years working in a hybrid product design and front-end development role before transitioning into product management has given me a solid understanding of the technologies and methodologies used to build web applications and software.

Other Certifications:

  • SexTech School Graduate (Jan 2023)

  • Product-led Certification (Nov 2022)

  • Product Analytics Certification (PAC)™ (Aug 2021)

  • Manager CORE - LifeLabs Learning (May 2021)

  • Certified SAFe® 5 Agilist (Oct 2020)

  • Neuroplasticity: How To Rewire Your Brain (Oct 2019)
