Thank you for your interest in my background and professional experience. Based in New York City — born and raised! I bring extensive expertise as a seasoned people manager, specializing in leading and nurturing design teams. I have a talent for identifying pain points and introducing structure to enhance team processes. Outside of work, I'm passionate about food but loathe the 'foodie' moniker, and I love searching for the city's best donuts.
Throughout my twenty year career, I've collaborated with global organizations to uncover cross-functional synergies translating to longterm value. Simply put, I am good at what I do! I am deeply committed to mentorship and development of design teams. I find great fulfillment in gaining insights into clients' needs to develop meaningful strategies, maintain brand integrity, and support the growth of enterprise brands.
