With 10+ years of experience, I have a proven track record in both growth and design teams. I've worked across diverse environments, from large corporations like Comcast and Vanguard to startups like Grammarly. I have even founded my own company! My expertise spans design, research, coaching, and coding, allowing me to approach challenges with a well-rounded and versatile skill set.
When I’m off the clock, I’m on an adventure! You’ll find me hiking new trails, shredding powder on the slopes, serving it up on the volleyball court, or training for my next marathon. With 23 countries under my belt and counting, estoy aprendiendo español.
Fun fact: I used to be an architect, and you can see some of my work below.
