Organization, documentation, process - the list goes on.

In my 15+ year career, I’ve been fortunate enough to work in agency and client-side roles within B2B and B2C. Experienced across a range of industries including non-profit, SaaS and commercial, I’m grateful to have found my place in operations and strategic enablement, where I can deliver customer value by leading flawless execution, process management, and technology ownership. While working alongside some of the smartest, most passionate colleagues, I’ve led interesting projects like:

Problem solving is my anchor and at the core of everything I do. I love learning and I love using new tools to solve problems. Although implementing the right solution always feels great, I’ve learned success is not just about results, but about lessons learned along the way. With speed, humility, and a drive to learn, I pursue everything with excellence in mind.
