Product Manager with a passion for utilizing consumer psychology alongside technology to drive customer-centric innovation
I’m a Product Manager who loves building products that make the customer experience feel seamless and unforgettable. I’ve spent the last few years working across startups and consulting, and most recently, I was a Product Manager at Nike. I just wrapped up my MBA at Chicago Booth, and now I’m excited to dive deeper into product strategy and growth as I work toward a Senior PM role. I care a lot about sustainability and creating inclusive teams, and I’m always looking for ways to bring that into the work I do.

Projects

GiveGo

GiveGo was created to solve a simple but frustrating problem: people want to donate, but finding local drives is surprisingly hard. Flyers, scattered posts, and word of mouth make generosity feel like a scavenger hunt. GiveGo centralizes local donation opportunities on an interactive, map-first interface that instantly shows nearby drives, what items they need, and how urgent they are. Organizers can easily create campaigns with photos, item lists, and progress tracking, while donors get a fast, intuitive way to make an impact in their own community. Built in under 48 hours for the Lovable Hackathon, the prototype includes geolocation, custom pins, category filters, organizer pages, and real-time campaign details. Our biggest takeaway was how much clarity and motivation a map provides—making community needs feel both visible and actionable. Next, we plan to onboard real organizers, add verification, and seed the map with ongoing drives so GiveGo can grow into a central platform for hyperlocal giving.See More

Product Analyst

AccentureIn my role, I orchestrated the entire lifecycle of product execution, working closely with stakeholders to gather business requirements and leading a team of 12 UX designers in designing and refining 110+ user stories. I played a pivotal role in QA activities, identifying and documenting 60+ bugs for Front-End and AEM developers, prioritizing the building and deploying of 38 components across three releases for a platform redesign. Collaborating with a diverse team of 90+ offshore members, including Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and developers, I contributed to the development and authoring of AEM components. Additionally, I managed 15+ user testing sessions, coordinating schedules for 30+ participants, conducting recordings, and utilizing Otter.ai for transcript cleaning. The findings from these sessions were reported to client stakeholders, informing six future feature enhancements. My responsibilities extended to overseeing the bi-weekly remediation of 30+ Accessibility issues for the Accessibility Team of a client. I developed expertise in Web Accessibility AA standards and adhered to best practices according to WCAG 2.1. Leading the development of three Epics and organizing 14+ Features for the Careers Portal Redesign of a Global Professional Services Company Platform, I collaborated with stakeholders to gather business and HR requirements, effectively managing project timelines and prioritizing backlogs across multiple workstreams. In a separate project for a Fortune 100 client in the manufacturing industry, I created and refined over 80 user stories with detailed acceptance criteria for eight features across 10 sprints for an E-Commerce project. This involved active collaboration in Agile ceremonies with UI/UX Designers and an offshore development scrum team, ensuring the successful execution of the project within defined timelines.
