My expertise is in understanding the needs of the end-user and the business, to drive strategic business or product decisions that create outsized value in the entertainment and consumer technology sectors. I have built teams and created programs that integrate Design & UX Research, Beta Testing, Market Research, and other customer listening functions for actionable, holistic customer insights. I scale programs, optimize business operations, and partner to develop great digital products and experiences. When I'm not at work, I'm in the ocean, scuba and free diving, or on the mountains, exploring and snowboarding. I'm a passionate wildlife photographer, and spend a lot of time connecting with nature and capturing its beauty from behind a camera. Add wildlife rescue volunteer, advising ocean and climate tech startups, and teaching.
