With nearly 20 years of experience leading diverse teams, I have developed a unique blend of strategic insight and nurturing leadership that has consistently driven project success. My journey has taken me from the front of the college classroom to leading UX teams, where I provide structure, education, and direction.I thrive on connecting with people, offering encouragement and coordination to help them achieve their best. My leadership has guided teams through a range of projects, from the conceptual ideation and design of an online self-directed character development program for teens with a national non-profit, to the definition, design, and delivery of multiple digital products within a nuclear work management platform for a Fortune 200 company.My strong work ethic, focused listening skills, and relentless curiosity about how we can improve and bring value to our work are the cornerstones of my approach. I excel in setting strategic, collaborative, and innovative directions for projects. As a charismatic and insightful leader, I find my flow in aligning business objectives with the mission of my UX team, fostering strong working relationships through clear communication, transparency, and consistency.I am passionate about driving UX excellence and am excited about opportunities to bring my experience and vision to a dynamic team.
