About

I’m an operations professional with a background spanning People Operations, organizational programs, and internal operations in high-growth environments, supporting how teams scale, stay aligned, and execute through change. I began my career in a startup where I owned core People Operations functions including payroll, benefits administration, HR systems, recruiting, and employee lifecycle processes. That experience gave me hands-on exposure to building and running the foundational systems that support growing teams. More recently, I’ve worked at Google and Ibotta in roles supporting executive leadership and internal operations, with exposure to organizational planning, leadership transitions, and cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced environments. I’ve partnered closely with senior leaders and People teams to coordinate sensitive work, manage execution timelines, and support clarity and consistency during periods of change. I enjoy work at the intersection of people, process, and business needs.
