• I’m an ESFJ (Consul) — which means I’m naturally people-focused, observant, and energized by connection. I like being part of a community and helping things run smoothly. I’m driven by strong values, I care deeply about others’ success, and I tend to take an active role in supporting and guiding the people around me.

  • My Birkman profile highlights that I'm structured, decisive, and people-oriented — someone who likes clarity, momentum, and collaboration. I thrive in environments where everyone wins together and where logic and empathy are equally valued.

    I'm at my best when I can turn complexity into something clear and actionable. I enjoy thoughtful discussions where everyone's voice is heard, and I don't feel the need to dominate the room to make an impact. I'm straightforward, organized, and energized by doing — not just planning.

    I also tend to learn and process best through sound and discussion rather than long reading, and I have an appreciation for aesthetics — how things look, sound, and feel matters to me.

    What motivates me: variety, structure, clear direction, and collaboration that feels balanced.

    What drains me: environments where ambiguity goes unaddressed, feedback is scarce, or logic and empathy aren't both in the room.

    If I had to sum it up — I'm motivated by clarity and collective success. I like when everyone knows where we're going, how we'll get there, and what role they play in making it happen. When that's murky, I'd rather roll up my sleeves and create the clarity than wait for it to show up.

  • I generally start my day somewhere between 6–8AM PST and wrap up accordingly. My team spans from India to the West Coast of North America, so my hours tend to skew earlier than a typical California schedule and vary day to day depending on what's needed.

    As a mom of two young kiddos, my schedule stays pretty flexible too — their activities and needs shift constantly, so I fit in work, meetings, and parenting in whatever way makes the most sense that day. That might mean you occasionally see messages or work from me during nights or weekends.

    I know that doesn't give a ton of clarity on when to expect me — so the best signal is my calendar, which I keep up to date. If I'm showing as available, you can trust that I am.

    That said, I never expect anyone to respond outside their normal working hours. I fully trust teammates to manage their notifications and boundaries in the way that works best for them.

    One of the best parts of remote work is flexibility — we all get to show up when we're most effective. Feel free to drop time on my calendar when it works for you, and I'll do my best to make it happen.

  • I genuinely love feedback — it’s one of the fastest ways to learn and improve. I prefer to get it as soon as possible and, when it makes sense, asynchronously (in writing, comments, or messages). That gives me time to process it thoughtfully before we talk it through.

    If something needs deeper discussion, I’m always happy to have a live follow-up conversation to unpack the details together.

  • I'm a mom to two kiddos, a proud Californian (Midwest-born and raised), and a full-on extrovert. Being around people genuinely energizes me, and I love any excuse to bring folks together. I host parties, I plan the group dinners, I'm the one who shows up ready to have a great time and bring that energy with me.

    I always describe myself as outsidesy, not outdoorsy. I have zero interest in camping or hiking, but put me on a patio with good food and good company and I am completely in my element. Al fresco is basically my love language. When my husband and I travel, our first move is always to find a rooftop bar. There's something about seeing a new place from above with a cocktail in hand that never gets old.

    I'm also really drawn to beauty and creativity in all its forms: interior design, architecture, art galleries, fashion, antique shops. I have a soft spot for Old Masters specifically, portraits, history paintings, scenes of everyday life. There's something about the way those paintings capture a whole world in a single frame that I find endlessly fascinating.

    At my core I just love creating experiences, whether that's a dinner party, a well-designed doc, or a meeting that actually feels good to be in. If there's an opportunity to make something more beautiful, more intentional, or more fun, I'm going to take it.

My Leadership Manifesto

My Leadership Philosophy

I’m the kind of leader who takes big, sometimes messy strategy and turns it into something clear, actionable, and actually doable. My goal is to make sure everyone knows how their work connects to outcomes that matter — so you’re not just busy, you’re making impact.

I want people to feel supported, trusted, and challenged in equal measure. I’ll always make sure there’s clarity and ownership, even when things are changing or uncertain.

When everyone understands the “why,” great work happens naturally. My job is to clear the noise, fight for the team, and set things up so good work is the default — not the exception.

I’m structured and organized by nature. I like getting things done, not just talking about them. I’m logical and decisive, but I care deeply about how people experience working together. The best environments are ones where logic and empathy coexist — where we win together, not at each other’s expense.

How I Support Growth & Development

I believe in proactive support, not just swooping in when someone’s struggling. A great team lifts each other up — and everyone’s responsible for that. If someone’s hitting a challenge, I expect the rest of us to show up with ideas and support, not judgment.

And here’s something I care a lot about: if there’s a problem, I expect you to bring ideas — not just complaints. Whether it’s about a person, a project, or a tool, we’re all responsible for finding ways to make things better. Complaining without wanting to fix it doesn’t help anyone. We’re all in this together, and solving things is the job.

When I mentor or coach, I ask good questions, encourage independent decisions, and give honest, direct feedback. I don’t sugarcoat, because that would be unfair to you. You deserve to know exactly where you stand and how to grow.

I’ll always advocate for you — removing blockers, connecting you to the right people, and making sure you have what you need to succeed. I hold a high bar, but I’ll never leave you guessing about what “great” looks like.

How I Handle Difficult Conversations

I’m direct, but I lead with care. You can expect me to be clear, calm, and focused on what’s going to help you succeed.

  • I’ll always be honest and frame feedback around real impact.

  • If I catch myself softening a message too much, I’ll just say it: “I’m going to be direct with you because you deserve clarity on this.”

  • If a conversation gets uncomfortable, I’ll acknowledge it and stay focused on growth: “I know this is tough, but I’m bringing it up because I want you to succeed.”

  • And if you come to me with a problem — person, process, project — I’m going to ask, “Okay, what do you think we can do about it?”

We’re all responsible for making this team great. I’ll always listen, but I’ll also push you to be part of the solution.

How We Navigate Disagreement & Commit

There are times when we can influence direction, and times when we need to commit to decisions that are already made. My job is to help you know which mode we’re in and guide you through both.

When we’re influencing, I’ll seek your input, push back on bad ideas, and advocate upward for better ones that make sense for the business and our users.

When it’s time to commit, I’ll be upfront: “This direction is final, but let’s focus on how you can take ownership within it.” We might not always get to choose the destination, but we can always choose how we get there.

If you’re struggling with a direction, tell me. I’ll do what I can to give you ownership and context — and I’ll always be honest about what’s possible.

How I Bring Clarity in Uncertainty

Clarity is my superpower. I love taking complex, ambiguous work and turning it into something that actually makes sense — with structure, sequencing, and alignment across teams.

Even when things are changing fast, I’ll keep the bigger picture in view so you feel grounded and safe. When we have to pivot, I’ll make sure you understand why and how it connects to our purpose.

I use data and metrics to guide decisions and keep us connected to customer and business impact. I want everyone to understand not just what we’re doing, but why it matters.

This manifesto reflects how I lead — with clarity, empathy, and a high bar for accountability. I want to build an environment where people are empowered, honest, and invested — because when we all take ownership, the work (and the team) gets stronger.
