About

About me

I started my career writing healthcare software, then spent five years on the Broad Institute's Genomics Platform.

Alongside implementation, I took on more work around requirements, workflows, technical planning, and coordination with partner teams. That is what led me to Northwestern's MMM program.

I'm interested in product roles where a technical background and a willingness to get into the details are useful.
