I started in journalism and public media in Washington, DC — as a television news writer/producer and in digital product roles for PBS and NPR. I saw a gap firsthand: strong reporting, but weak digital tools for audience engagement. So I learned how to build the tools.
That path took me through early streaming work, then ecommerce and D2C optimization in Austin, and eventually into senior product and operating leadership across enterprise SaaS and AI/ML. Focus now: enterprise SaaS, AI/ML automation, product-led growth, and portfolio recovery with measurable delivery.
In parallel, I've been involved in Pflugerville civic life for over a decade — HOA treasurer, Planning & Zoning Chair, Capital Improvements Advisory Chair, and now City Council.
