hello, world
Senior Technical Program Manager at Amazon. 20+ years turning complex problems into elegant solutions — from AT&T to Microsoft to Amazon. Tech enthusiast, baseball fan, and always planning the next adventure.
About
I'm a PMP-certified program manager and passionate problem solver with over two decades navigating the intersection of technology, people, and process. Currently, I lead security programs at Amazon from Irvine, California.
I've always been a tech geek at heart. My journey started in Twin Falls, Idaho, and has taken me from retail floors to enterprise workforce transformation at AT&T, through program management at Microsoft, and into security at Amazon. Along the way, I've learned that the best solutions come from clear communication, relentless curiosity, and a genuine love for understanding how things work.
When I'm not wrangling programs, you'll find me obsessing over the Mariners during baseball season, exploring new places around the world with my husband Joe and our mini pinscher Ellie, or geeking out over the latest in tech. From cruising the Caribbean to wandering through Southeast Asia, travel is my reset button.
