I do hard things
& make them fun.

// what i do

I make the hard parts
feel possible.

Launch digital banking

End-to-end platform implementations for credit unions and community banks. Nine launches, every one on time.

Drive AI adoption

I help teams move from AI-curious to AI-fluent — change management, prompt training, and automations that actually stick.

Bring people along

Clients make hard decisions faster when they're laughing with you, not bracing against you. Relationships outlast the project.

// ai, in practice

I don't just use AI.
I get whole teams using it.

I was a founding member, and the only woman, on my company's AI Adoption Council, and my team's designated AI Champion. I build the automations, then I teach the humans: prompt engineering, practical dos & don'ts, and the change management that turns "we should try AI" into "we use it every day and love it."

// the plot

Engineer who fell
for the people part.

I came up the technical way: taught myself SQL from "SQL 2008 for Dummies," became the product trainer for a digital banking platform, and a technical lead running developer teams for publicly traded banks. Then I realized the part of the job I loved most was the humans. So I became a PM.
