My father is an engineer and my mother is a quilter. I grew up learning to think analytically but creatively. I was taught independence through problem solving like an engineer, and gained an eye for detail from a quilter. She showed me that intentional cuts of fabric, placed just right, could create something truly beautiful. I didn't have a word for it then, but I was learning to think like a product person.

That combination eventually led me to product management, where the best work lives at the intersection of logic and craft. I've built products across e-commerce, healthcare supply chain, and digital health, and the thread through all of it has been the same: find the real problem, validate before you build, and make the next right action as obvious as possible for the person using it.

For the last few years I've been a founding team member at Rheumera, building a rheumatology platform that gives patients a voice between appointments and gives clinicians the data they need to act on it. It's the kind of work that reminds me why this field matters.

I care about building things that genuinely improve people's lives, not just in the abstract, but in the specific, felt way. Technology that helps someone manage a chronic condition, understand their options, or spend less time on friction and more time on what matters.
