My backstory:

I left high school feeling lost. Between the ages 18 and 25 I tried different things. I didn't know what I was good at. I had lot's of interests but lacked focus. I got bored easily. My parents worried about my future. They saw my potential but feared it would go to waste.

I started to work part-time for the family business. My father needed an extra pair of hands and I needed to make some money. It ignited my entrepreneurial spirit, pushing me into the energy and challenges of running a business. It gave me the focus and confidence to own my path and chase it with determination.

I never looked back. With 20 years in the game, I’ve held multiple entrepreneurial and management roles—half of them in tech/SaaS. I am a product marketer at heart, bringing a diverse background and strong business and operational expertise to the table.
