About

As a creative at heart who cares deeply about my customers and the people I am serving, I focus on staying true to the problem and diving into the details to deeply understand what needs to be done to move the needle. With my experience in building products, teams, to collaborating with C-suite executives, I'm able to move quickly from the details to the highest levels to ensure the best decisions are made for the customer and business.

In my day job, I work at Walmart, executing on growth strategies in Retail Transformation through Digital Identity and Financial Services verticals as a product leader. We are transforming the retail landscape for customers to use their digital wallet, payments, banking services for our customers.

I’m also a photographer specializing in weddings and portraiture over the last 9 years. I’ve been described as friendly, professional, and dynamic from previous clients, and it is a creative outlet that allows me to stretch and get outside beyond the pixels.

Product and Design

I operate at the cross-section of product management and UI/UX design. The past decade has given me robust business, product, and design experience.

My experience ranges from blue collar roots in landscaping, working in private equity, then growing software business; most recently, building products at scale for the 100M+ weekly shoppers at Walmart.

I am a data-driven product leader that is focused on storytelling and alignment to drive execution and technical excellence to enable straightforward and pleasant customer experiences from zero to one and growing apps.

Photography

Photography has offered me opportunities that I couldn't have imagined. From the fields of NJ photographing a sweet farm wedding to the most extravagant venues in NYC, I've been able to be a part of so many special moments.

Most importantly, the people I've met have been transformational. The couples, families, and individuals that have trusted me have pushed me to new levels of my craft and have expanded my capacity for empathy.

Thoughts and Stories

I’m a lifelong learner, and generally have taught myself mostly all that I know. I occasionally will write and publish these discoveries for others to indulge in!
