Product Manager/ UX Strategist/ Community Builder/ Fire-Starter

I have a talent for solving problems & organizing chaos. I have a passion for web technologies & user experience. When my talents & passions come together, cool stuff happens.

I am a compulsive organizer and analyzer, sushi devourer, and entrepreneur. I’m opinionated, open-minded and insatiably curious. I’m passionate, energetic and a natural leader (ENTJ). I balance the serious things in my life with a lot of silliness, sarcasm and sass. I say bad words too often. I love adventure. Sometimes I’m afraid of the dark, but I’m never afraid of a challenge.

Currently:

Product Manager @ Dispatch. Relocating to NYC at breakneck speeds.

Dispatch gives you new ways to work on files with people. We bring together the services you already use – like Dropbox, e-mail, & Facebook — so you can easily share and communicate about the stuff you’re working on all in one place.

In 2011, Dispatch won the TechCrunch Disrupt NYC Hackathon, graduated from TechStars NYC, and raised money. We’re now rapidly iterating to build Dispatch into something amazing. It’s in private beta right now, but if you’re interested in trying it out, let me know.
