About Me

I am a strategically-minded, industry-trained insights leader, ready to partner with development teams as they strive to make the best decisions for their product and audience.

From gaming to FinTech, I’ve consistently excelled at helping teams navigate new problem spaces - you know, the ones where things are especially ambiguous and the path forward is unclear. I’m an experienced mentor & people manager, with a passion for growing others. I also have a proven track record of serving on product leadership teams.

As an individual contributor, I’m practiced in market & user research approaches, with experience deploying them in B2B & B2C settings. I’m eager to join and build insights teams that help teams navigate complex problem spaces, make data-informed decisions, and confidently deliver empowering experiences. Let’s chat!
