I've always been enamored with storytelling (my first piece of creative writing was published when I was only 9!). After graduating from NYU with a journalism and English degree, I could not wait to hit the ground running as a digital editorial assistant at Condé Nast (seriously, you've never seen someone in their early twenties so excited to leave college to work full time!). While I grew in that first role, I discovered an even deeper passion for digital development. My director not only managed the editorial teams, but also the business teams, and because of that I was able to work with our product manager on a redesign, build microsites with outside vendors, manage our newsletter acquisition campaign and more. Since then, I’ve spent years becoming an expert in every step of the digital development process. I am constantly looking for new ways to learn and make it a goal to regularly challenge myself to do something that’s a bit uncomfortable (I'm still trying to bake that perfect loaf of gluten-free bread!).
I have a track record of taking ownership over products — even when it wasn't within the scope of my job description. I’ve launched new e-commerce sites (Victoria Sport, for example), managed content management systems, engineered processes, ran cross-platform campaigns, meticulously gathered requirements, obsessively QA-ed everything that’s come across my desktop, and managed executive stakeholder relationships.
Relationship building is one my biggest strengths. So is my work ethic, thoughtfulness, and tenacity (maintaining focus from age 9 does take an immense amount of drive, after all). I’m a big ideas person with an insatiably curious spirit. I’m also detail-oriented to a fault and wired to execute. I’m currently freelancing and looking for new product management opportunities, because I’m extremely passionate about ways technology can disrupt and evolve industries that aren’t traditionally leaders in the technology space (like retail!). I would love to connect to discuss my experience further and explore how my expertise in digital content management, production, and development could help your brand!
