I'm not your typical product manager. With experience spanning product management, creative direction, and marketing communication, I expertly blend these skills to deliver mobile and web experiences that have intentional design and compelling content. I care deeply about beauty, simplicity, efficiency, inclusion, and positivity. I'm also the one who takes a step back to take a pulse and make sure the team is solving the right problem, then lead the charge in pivoting, if needed. I'm unafraid to ask all the questions that need to get asked, to make sure everyone's on the same page and driving toward the same goal.I'm continually working on becoming the best human I can be, and I always strive to lift others up. I’m an advocate, champion, and ally.~~~~~~~From Oklahoma originally, I'm a big college football fan (Boomer Sooner!)
