Hello, I'm
Product Manager - UX Designer - Web Developer
talented product manager / designer
I've been a leader, a teacher, and a problem solver my whole life. I was a civil engineer for 3+ years and now I am solving problems and creating innovative solutions in Product and Design in the tech industry. I'm making this transition because I just love using innovating technology and systems thinking to solve problems and reveal the stories of everyday people.

I enjoy doing a lot of things. Solving problems, taking lead, providing all kinds of help, making that killer one-line joke, and much more. Below are just a few things I like doing the most.
Focused Project and Product Manager with the brain of an engineer. Always concious of big picture and business goals while being a motivating team leader.
Has the heart of a designer, but also focuses on people—the users—not just on business goals, skills, or techniques.
Critical thinking with an open mind to produce clean and quality HTML, CSS, JS, and Wordpress sites.
Possess the hustle to always be a life-long student of the game. Constantly doing research, reading books, and taking online courses to stay ahead
I am on the path to developing my technical skills each day. I started training these skills in mid 2016 and will continue to train to become an expert and confident in these bodies of knowledge.
With a natural thirst for knowledge, I enjoy sharing what I know with others. I'm confident in my mastery of chosen subjects, and perfer design and a brillant plan rather than opinions that can be distractions.

- INTJ PERSONALITY -
People with the INTJ personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy. INTJs form just two percent of the population, and women of this personality type are especially rare.
