About Me

I began my journey without the privileges many take for granted, which instilled in me a drive to succeed from an early age. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I started my educational path at community college before transferring to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where I majored in Art Direction and Advertising. Balancing work, school, and freelancing, I honed my skills and determination.

A pivotal opportunity took me to Los Angeles, where I worked at top creative agencies on high-profile campaigns for studios like AMC and Warner Brothers, including projects such as The Walking Dead, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad. Transitioning back to the Bay Area, I joined Electronic Arts, contributing to AAA games like Battlefield and Star Wars. Like many, I reached a ceiling and needed to move on to continue growing.

My passion for technology led me to Meta, where I helped launch the first generation of the Oculus Quest and future XR vision projects. I continued my career at Google, working on top revenue-generating products in Ads and Search, and at Amazon, focusing on several Alexa experiences and devices. Currently, I lead UX program management, driving excellence and innovation in the real estate tech industry.

My professional and personal experiences fueled my passion for mentoring and coaching, and made me a better leader. Outside of work, I am dedicated to helping others navigate their careers, from students breaking into tech, those seeking growth or a new job, to sharing insights with underserved communities. All of whom could be the next generation of tech and UX leaders.
