Engineering Leadership & Strategic Project Management
I’m a people-first engineering leader with experience building and supporting healthy teams that get things done.
I love listening to people, analyzing organizational challenges and improving processes to help teams deliver and individuals thrive.
Most recently, I was a senior engineering manager at Maven Clinic, helping to improve healthcare for women and families. Before that, I was an EM at Betterment, where I was also a co-founder of Engineers for Fair Growth, an employee resource group focused on equitable career progression and organizational transparency.
I started my career in the art world, running a private art collection and collaborating with artists and museums internationally. This experience taught me a lot about supporting creative professionals and guiding them to achieve complex goals — skills that I’ve found translate well to developing software engineers and leading product teams.
As a quick learner and empathetic listener, I’m able to efficiently build trust and influence within evolving organizations. As a career switcher, I’m practiced at drawing connections between contexts and applying to new challenges what I’ve learned across the breadth of my experience.
These are my superpowers, and they position me well to do what I most enjoy in any setting: make thoughtful changes that support people and their work.
RIGHT NOW
I live in Brooklyn with the most patient man in the world and our two energetic daughters. We spend a lot of time in the park.
I’m proud to be an advisory board member for Kentler International Drawing Space, an artist-run non-profit gallery serving the Red Hook community for nearly 35 years.
I serve on the board of managers for my Brooklyn condominium — and am learning a lot in the process.
After taking a short break from paid work to care for my growing family, I am now seeking new opportunities.
I’m looking for leadership roles where I can help product & engineering teams operate, collaborate, and deliver value. I’m most interested in opportunities that involve developing strong cross-functional partnerships and turning complex challenges into actionable plans. Ideal roles are full-time and hybrid in NYC.
Please reach out if you’re a leader looking for support or if you know of any opportunities that might be a good fit.

Forward Union was a volunteer-run coalition-building initiative that connected non-profit organizations, artists, activists, and creative communities. Our annual marquee event, Forward Union Fair, was a free community fair convening representatives from social justice organizations alongside topical art installations and public programs to address a range of activist themes and issues, from reproductive rights to environmental justice.
We were awarded two consecutive Art & Social Justice grants from the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, and received support from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, NURTUREart, and other organizations.
