I am glad you are here!

Let me tell you a bit about myself. Whenever I think about where I am today, and what motivates me, I always think back to a professor of mine in college who said “Whatever career path you choose to go down, make sure you learn the latest and greatest technology related to it. Whether you want to be a nurse, or a school teacher, or anything else- knowing the latest technology surrounding that industry will set you up for success.” At the time I was declared as a Business Major and wasn’t quite sure where my career was headed. That advice resonated with me so much that I quickly changed my major to be Business Information Systems and the rest… is history.

I would describe myself as a technology enthusiast. I like to ask people what their thoughts are on the popular Netflix show “Black Mirror” and most people are justifiably stressed at the dystopia each episode seems to portray. But when I watch the show, I get so excited about the potential abilities technology can have on our lives for the better! Sure, there’s a lot of harm that can come if we don’t do things right, but there’s also so much incredible opportunity. And that’s what I see when I think about the future and how technology will continue to play a large part of our lives. I often find myself feeling impatient when I encounter a situation where I know something can be made better had the right technology been leveraged. I watch shows like Black Mirror and think about my own ideas for how technology will evolve and am really, very, patiently waiting for the rest of the world to catch up!

Professional Summary

I started my career in Product Management at Salesforce, where I had the opportunity to work on three different teams: Sales Cloud, B2B Marketing Cloud, and IoT Cloud. During my time there, I led significant projects such as the Trial Experience, the new Kanban experience in Lightning, and the migration from Salesforce Classic to Lightning. I also spearheaded the integration of Pardot onto the Salesforce platform, launching innovative products like Multi-Touch Attribution and Pardot Einstein.

After Salesforce, I joined Coinbase, where I collaborated with various business functions to deliver integrations between enterprise applications. I expanded the integrations team, developed over 200 integrations, and played a crucial role in scaling Coinbase during its hyper-growth stage from pre-IPO to IPO.

At Kforce - Arvest Bank, I was involved in rebuilding the systems used to decision business loan applications by leveraging Salesforce Financial Services Cloud. This resulted in decreasing loan decision times by 26% and bolstered compliance of federal regulations, due to automating key parts of the loan origination processes.
