After years of discussion and months of meticulous planning, I’m currently taking a yearlong career break with my husband to live out our longtime dream of traveling around the world! We’re traveling through 43 countries across all 7 continents!

In my typical life, I drive value by building stellar products that users love. Most recently, I designed experiences for over 2.8 million learners at Corporate Finance Institute, the #1 rated online provider of finance education. Before that, I developed new B2B/B2C features and product enhancements for EnterpriseAlumni, which powers the alumni networks of the world’s largest organizations.

I’ll be ready to dive back into product design this fall. Until then, explore a few of my recent projects, learn more about me, and keep in touch!
