ABOUT ME

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING CEOS AND PRODUCT LEADERS BUILD AWESOME PRODUCTS AND AWESOME PRODUCT PEOPLE.

I caught the seemingly uncurable startup bug as a founding team member at priceline.com where I was involved in all aspects of early stage product development, operations + customer support. I also educated co-workers with my "P-Touch for Dummies" + "Hamburger Logic" lunch and learns.

After priceline, I co-founded and served as Chief Operating Officer for Direct Help, a technology startup that provided marketing + communications technology to nonprofits.

I served as Platform and Product Director for Startup America Partnership, the private side of a two-year partnership with the White House to increase job growth in the United States. I oversaw the tech team + end-to-end product development for the nonprofit that built vibrant startup communities nationwide.

Since then, I have been on founding teams at Main Street Genome, Upside Travel and Wellist Employer Solutions.

I spent my early career in Event Management at the Volvo International Tennis Tournament + Oakdale Theatre.

I earned a JD at UConn Law School (Go Huskies!) and a BBA in Accounting + History at Notre Dame (☘️ Go Irish!).

Other than a brief two-year stint cruising the green + eventually blue slopes in Colorado's Summit County, I am a lifelong Connecticut resident. I commuted from CT to DC for a decade... until Covid.

When I'm not producting or parenting, you will find me puzzling.

I've never met a puzzle I didn’t attempt to crack.

Daily NYT Spelling Bee + Crossword + Wordle, Learned League, Geocaching, any type of word or logic puzzle, Nonograms, Hitori, Kakuro (heck, all the number games), escape rooms, teenagers, even a jigsaw now and again.
