About

A bit about me

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 a team of security technical program managers at Amazon, working out of the Irvine, California campus and living down the coast in San Diego.

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.
