Beyond a Resume:

Resumes are bullet points, but we are all on a journey. 

So here's the path, not just the highlights of my story so far. 

I don't think you can understand what I did without understanding why I did it — the bullet points are just where I ended up, not how I got there.

I was managing before I knew what it was.

In my early 20s I wanted to work in fashion but didn't quite know how. Enter retail.

I landed a job managing a team of 50 people in a fast-paced NYC environment — learning what it actually means to lead before anyone gave me a framework for it.

I'll tell new managers today that I was a terrible manager when I began, because it takes time and nobody skips that part.

What I walked away with was something that can't really be taught:

how to hold a room, make decisions before you feel ready, and de-escalate in real time.

That was my first lesson in people — and it stuck.

01

EARLY CAREER · NEW YORK CITY

I understood tech philosophically-

Time to close the gap.

02

THE PIVOT · BRAINSTATION

Always seeking a challenge, I went back to school and studied UX/UI at Brainstation.

A short while later I set out into a world that was largely unknown to me.

The smartest entry point was customer service.

I knew the people part well, and that bought me time to learn everything else.

I started building systems that made sense to me, through a lot of trial and error, and something important clicked:

I could learn anything if I believed I could.

That belief has informed much of the development work I’ve been involved in later in my career.

Things got real quickly.

03

DIRECTOR · CHARITYBUZZ

At Charitybuzz I stepped into my first Director title and found myself doing a bit of everything.

I was getting results. But I was operating on instinct more than intention, and I knew it.

I made a deliberate decision to stop figuring things out in isolation and start learning from people who had solved these problems before.

I wanted to be good on purpose, not just by accident.

I built something from scratch.

It worked.

I built more.

Squarespace started as the perfect blend of people management meets tech, finally in the same room.

I am good at it.

My team kept developing, moving into new roles, succeeding.

But I was on repeat.

When the opportunity came to step into a Senior Team Lead role in Product Support, I took it.

Smaller team, more strategic space, closer to the technical work.

Most of it is documented in my Case Studies page.

04

NOW · SQUARESPACE

A communicator who happens to run operations.

05

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm looking for senior roles where how I think and communicate is central to the work.

Content strategy, program leadership, executive communications, AI-forward organizations trying to figure out how to talk about what they're building.

I want to take everything I've built across retail floors, well earned startup lessons, and tech teams, and put it somewhere it can merge well.

The title never tells the whole story.

I'm looking for the room that fits.
