A new chapter

After seven years building RemoteWoman & RemotePOC, the business is mid-exit — and I'm opening up to what's next.

Background in project management, account management and content production at Amazon, NFL, Pandora and more. Comfortable communicating with everyone from a CEO to a celebrity to a coworker — honest, organized, and genuinely care about the people I work with.

BA in Communications from UC Riverside. Active in WISE (Women in Sports & Entertainment) and a volunteer with the LA Sports & Entertainment Commission.
