About Me

My research centers users, secures funding, and delivers results. I break problems down and scale up from 0 to 1 where technology and human needs intersect, partnering with founders and organizations working to build lasting solutions. My work spans startup ecosystem development, customer experience transformation, and product innovation--always focused on creating delightful experiences that scale.

Collaborating with and leading amazing teams, I've found ways to flip 50% cancellation rates into 16-point NPS improvements, crafted research foundations for four 7-figure seed funding rounds, and scaled programs for 100,000+ users.

I first hit the streets as an entrepreneur at age 16, borrowing the family '97 Grand Caravan to sell medical scrubs door-to-door. Now, I work globally to increase my leverage and impact, focused on delivering delightful solutions to wicked problems.

Along the way, I embraced intrapreneurship at Sunrun, earned an MA in Design from Carnegie Mellon, and mastered venture building as CX Principal and Cofounder of Habitats.ai at Mach49, pioneering biodiversity monitoring technology that leverages responsible AI for conservation.

My Philosophy:

Solutions to complex challenges start with listening and rapid immersion in the problem space. Whether leading interviews, facilitating workshops, mentoring founders, or connecting startups with strategic partners, I believe the best solutions emerge when we begin by understanding.
