Profile

Principal Project Manager with 11+ years driving operational excellence, cross-functional alignment, and scalable delivery frameworks across SaaS, education, and nonprofit organizations, including 8+ years in tech. I sit at the intersection of product operations and technical program management, partnering with Product, Engineering, Design, Analytics, Research, and CX teams to turn complex initiatives into clear, executable plans.

From technical roadmaps and AI-enabled workflow automation to global go-to-market launches, I build the systems that help teams move faster, decide smarter, and deliver with consistency. Process design, data-informed insights, and cross-functional enablement are my specialty, creating operational infrastructure that simplifies decision-making and drives measurable outcomes across high-impact programs.

Think of me as the band director who teaches synchronized swimmers how to ballroom dance — different teams, different rhythms, one seamless performance.
