A multicultural, leader and designer looking to understand patterns and behaviors that drive each of us all to be so similar, but unique at the same time. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. Post undergrad, I completed a Post Baccalaureate Certificate from MIT in Human Computer Interaction and am now pursuing a Master’s Degree in Technology Management at Columbia University, where I have been awarded a Columbia University Fellowship. I bring a background of working with Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning through my work at MIT, Columbia, Salesforce, and Toast.
I have been leading new initiatives, 0 to 1 products, and deep technical strategy at enterprise tech companies over the last 7 years with a strong focus on product market fit, competitive landscapes, and my personal secret sauce— leveraging design thinking for business strategy.
