Craft
Over fourteen years, I've balanced the roles of product manager, designer, and engineer, including seven years spent leading and growing teams as a director. In addition to leadership, I'm almost always hacking on my own stuff.
Trajectory
I was born and raised in the USA. After studying the arts at Brown and Sotheby’s, I joined Kickstarter to help creators bring their ideas to life. When I moved to France, I joined OpenClassrooms to scale access to education. As an immigrant in France, I contributed to Réfugiés.info to support those navigating new beginnings. Most personally, after the public healthcare system at Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) saved my child’s life, I dedicated my product expertise to the Paris public hospitals that serve us all.
I'm now a dual citizen (USA - France) and am bilingual in English and French. I also have the CAP Pâtissier because I'm a pastry chef on the side.
Causes
I volunteer monthly for the nonprofit L’Envol, leading art workshops for children in Paris pediatric wards. I donate to Le Rire Médecin, Association Laurette Fugain, Sea Shepard, Cœur de Forêt, and L214.
