My Story

A Data Product Manager with a combined 10 years of consulting, program and product management experience in the logistics, supply chain, and ed-tech space. I joined Google's consumer hardware program in 2014, with a major focus on process automation, systems architecture, and FP&A design from ideation to deployment, being a people manager, and gained working experience with Salesforce Lightning, Netsuite, Anaplan, SQL, Tableau, and OCR. In 2019, I transitioned to Flexport, a YC startup industry disruptor in the logistics domain. By working as a customer success manager, I collaborated with various product and strategy teams on process improvements within the Enterprise market segment, gaining intimate knowledge of our JIRA ticketing system, and using Looker as our data backbone to drive agility in business decision-making. These days, I'm working as a Data Product Manager at Everfi, focusing on consumer privacy, adult financial literacy, and K12 product analytics. I have a knack for putting the user first, using data to test hypotheses and iterating quickly, and working collaboratively across teams to achieving a long-range visions.
