About me

Hello! I'm a product manager (1+ years of experience) across enterprise, startup, and nonprofit environments spanning healthcare, ed-tech, and B2B SaaS. I have a double degree in Applied Computing and Business Administration from the University of Washington with a minor in Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies. I am also a part-time literary editor!

I currently serve as a Program Lead at Develop for Good, where I manage a portfolio of nonprofit tech projects, advise student product teams, screen project proposals, and act as the primary liaison between volunteers and nonprofit clients.

Previously, I led a product team at DFG building tools for a Bay Islands nonprofit, and have contributed to projects at DevMatch, Medline, and ASSISTments at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Outside of my product work, I've been honored as a Husky 100 recipient and love building community, whether that's through mentoring, inclusive event programming, or my growing interest in editorial work.
