About

👩🏾‍💻 I’m a product leader driven by a mission to build experiences that leverage technology to expand access, foster connection, and create opportunity. 👓 I lead product initiatives for Wearables at Meta, including AI and AR glasses and smart devices, creating innovative, inclusive experiences that unlock independence and opportunity for users. 💡 Previously, I was a Rotational Product Manager, shaping experiences across Instagram, Facebook, and AR Glasses. On Instagram, I launched features that helped creators manage notifications and deepen audience connections. On Facebook Reels in Brazil, I led growth experiments to test hypotheses that informed the FB app’s strategy. On AR Glasses, I equipped developers to build richer AR experiences. I’m energized by translating real-world user challenges and needs into experiences that drive meaningful impact at scale. 🚀 My journey into product began in college, where I studied abroad at the European Innovation Academy and led a cross-functional team to soft-launch “Sportie,” a mobile app prototype connecting sports enthusiasts through friendly competition. I also founded the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization (CEO Club) at Iona University, sparking my passion for leading and inspiring others to pursue ideas that create value. 🌍 Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places and highlighting Gen Z travelers through my Instagram page @GenZTravelers, snowboarding, playing piano, and pursuing projects at the intersection of creativity, community, technology, and purpose. 🤝 Always open to connecting with others passionate about creating solutions that elevate human experiences and open doors to new possibilities.
