I'm a Los Angeles-based Digital Product Manager with a decade of experience leading multidisciplinary teams in the delivery of products through production schedules.

I believe that a successful business relationship between creative, engineering, and sales teams is rooted in communication. Whether it’s at a small non-profit, a start-up, or a global multinational media company, I’m an expert at translating across business languages. I’m a creative and analytical thinker with a passion for digital strategy.

I currently work as a product manager with 18F, an office within the US government’s General Services Administration. 18F partners with agencies to improve the user experience of government digital services, including websites and apps. I’ve previously worked in fashion, entertainment, sports, and corporate social responsibility.  

I graduated from University of Maryland, College Park with Bachelor’s degrees in Government & Politics and French Language and Literature. I also have a Master’s degree in International Affairs from The George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs.

In my free time, I enjoy essay writing, music composition and production, videography, and skateboarding. I speak French, play the guitar and bass, and am always reading at least three books. I am originally from New York, and have lived in Washington D.C.,  and the cities of Paris and Nice, France. I love lasagna, politics, and cats.
