Technical Program Manager @ Squarespace

About

As a big thinker, I love discovering creative solutions to problems. Still, I know ideas are nothing without action. I am skilled at organizing ambiguity and managing complex projects. I am also a great communicator and collaborator, and receive frequent feedback about my approachability, warmth, and clarity from my stakeholders. Like an author writing a good book, a Project Manager should identify plot points and characters so they can assemble a well-developed tale with rich backgrounds and complex narratives that results in a pleasurable read. Even through iterations, failed attempts, and successes I aim to have all my projects tell an enjoyable story full of lessons for personal and professional growth. In my personal life, I take a similar approach, connecting dreaming with results. I'm an author, a friend, an adventurer, and excellent dog trainer who is always excited to connect!
