About

Product leader with a decade in healthcare technology. I've spent my career at the intersection of design and product, starting as the first product hire at PlushCare (now part of Accolade) where I grew from designer to Senior PM, Growth.

I care deeply about making healthcare more accessible through thoughtful product design, and I've worked across the full stack — from 0-1 mobile app rebuilds to growth systems generating $50M+ in revenue.

Currently freelancing and exploring new startup opportunities with a focus on healthcare SaaS.
