About

I am a product innovator and changemaker committed to building digital solutions that drive societal impact. My work is rooted in a deep commitment to youth empowerment and family support, especially for underserved and immigrant communities. Currently, I am developing an AI engine to help young athletes and families unlock opportunities, resources, and growth paths—a mission inspired by my own journey. Alongside this passion, I bring 15+ years of professional experience with proven expertise in Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance. At MetLife, I led P&C transformation programs—partnering with Underwriting and Claims stakeholders to implement Master Data Management (MDM) and deliver solutions for Excess & Surplus and Specialty Commercial lines, Policy Administration, and Claims systems. I thrive in dynamic, Agile-driven environments (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban) where I bridge business needs with technology solutions. My toolkit includes requirements elicitation, BRDs/FRDs, user stories, gap analysis, UAT leadership, and stakeholder management, enabling organizations to align product roadmaps with business goals. At my core, I am motivated to not only help businesses grow but also to create platforms that leave lasting impact on people’s lives. Let’s connect to explore opportunities to collaborate on transformative insurance, digital, or social impact initiatives.
