Building things people rely on, in spaces I care about.
Looking to make an impact in women's health, healthspan, human-centered care, and mission-driven work.
Product Manager with 8+ years across enterprise SaaS. At Workday I led the 0-to-1 launch of self-service on Journeys, a platform that grew to 1,300+ customers and $93M ARR during my tenure. I started with writing code before I moved into product management, and lately, I'm back to building, this time with AI.
Touching grass, digging into health and wellness, or planning my next trip. I'm passionate about leading a healthy lifestyle and finding new ways to listen to my body, from glucose to real food to resistance training to wearables and AI. I have a corgi I love named Louie, I spend as much of my time as I can in the Colorado mountains, and I'm just back from a year traveling abroad.
Customer-obsessed. Technically grounded. AI-Fluent.
I started in engineering because I loved the puzzle of how the pieces fit together and where each one gets built. That instinct never left, and it's why I can get into the data model or the architecture with my team when it's the thing that gets us to the right answer.
I do my best work in new problem spaces, especially the messy ones most people avoid. My instinct is to dig into what's actually going wrong and turn it into a plan that gets us somewhere better. The best products come from asking the right questions and getting honest answers about the real problem.
The LLM wave handed me the tools to match that instinct. Now I can build the solution instead of just describing it, and take a problem from understanding it all the way to something I can put in front of people.

Where
I'm Headed
I want to bring my product expertise to the problem I care most about: helping people get in control of their own health and stay there.
We have brilliant specialists to fix people once they are sick, but we do far less to keep the healthy person healthy, or to help someone turn a condition like type 2 diabetes around before it runs their life. I have lived the other version of this. Learning to read my own body, the bloodwork, the metabolic signals, my mental health, the recovery data, changed my health and gave me my energy back. Getting those tools and that insight into more people's hands, whether that means preventing illness, reversing it, or finally feeling like yourself, is the work I want to do next.
Eight years building enterprise SaaS.
I traveled across 17 countries and now I'm building with AI.
- Created an operating system for my product work: custom skills, scheduled agents, Claude Code
- Built One Day Stronger with Claude Code, a personalized PT app to support my own injury
- Developed a context engineering practice across the builds
I owned the 0-to-1 self-service launch on Journeys, which grew to 1,300+ customers and $93M ARR during my tenure.
- Ran continuous customer discovery (150+ interviews) and a design partner program with 10+ trusted customers
- Designed the annual strategy planning methodology that aligned a 50+ person org at the VP level
- Drove the AI product vision from POC through roadmap integration
Four case studies on how I think.
Putting the employee in the driver's seat.
Pushed for self-service at Workday Journeys, ran the design partner program, and shipped a minimum viable bet that half of requesting customers adopted within a release cycle.
Restructuring a Platform's Data Layer to Unlock Scale and AI
The data structure that organized every journey in the system was the same one preventing customers from using the product the way they needed to.
From Scattered Inputs to a VP-Aligned Product Strategy
Designed the methodology that drove five PMs across five time zones to create a VP-aligned product strategy with three investment areas and a QBR cadence to keep it alive.
Defining VMware's Cross-Portfolio Security Strategy
Nobody at VMware had a perspective on cross-portfolio XDR yet. I built one that evaluated multiple product dimensions, placing the Native XDR bet, and getting executive alignment to move forward.
I don't just use AI products. I build with them too.
The life part of life.
Say hello.
I'd love to hear what you're working on. Open to Senior/Staff PM and above roles. Particular interest in health tech that makes a real impact on people's lives.
