    The Story

    Small-town girl, big tech dreams

    From Mercer, Pennsylvania to engineering at University of Florida, then California for my dream job at Google. That's when I discovered my superpower: making engineers and executives actually understand each other.

    Since then, I've helped SoftBank, Neustar, Andela, Heap, and Contentsquare turn their most complex platform challenges into competitive advantages—saving millions along the way.

    The 80/20 rule says focus on what matters most. But sometimes, the other 20% is where the magic happens. Here's what I'm working on outside the day job.

    Post-acquisition, everyone was watching the costs. I built a systematic approach to cut spending without cutting capabilities.
