I'm a Product Leader with a proven track record of transforming complex customer and business challenges into strategic successes.
With nearly 10 years of experience in serving online customers, I bring extensive expertise in technical SEO, accessibility, and digital product strategy.
Currently, I am at Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI), a consumer co-operative, where I drive the strategic vision for the REI.com landing page portfolio and navigation.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from Iowa State University, a Professional Certificate in Retail and Omnichannel Management from Dartmouth College, and am a Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC).
