My Interests

Empowering Through Education

I’m deeply passionate about teaching and mentoring in the fields of:

  • Business Analysis: Helping others master the art of translating ideas into actionable solutions.
  • Software Testing: Sharing best practices for quality assurance and defect prevention.
  • Product Ownership: Guiding future leaders in owning vision, strategy, and delivery.
  • Scrum & Agile Methodologies: Coaching teams on how to collaborate, iterate, and deliver with purpose.

Whether it’s leading workshops, mentoring cross-functional teams, or developing training materials, I thrive when helping others grow.

Wellness & Creativity

Balance is essential. I find joy and clarity through:

  • Teaching Yoga: Promoting mindfulness, flexibility, and inner strength.
  • Painting: Expressing emotion and imagination through color and form.
  • Gardening: Cultivating beauty and peace in the natural world.
  • Biking: Exploring the outdoors and staying energized.

These pursuits fuel my creativity and resilience—qualities I bring into every professional challenge.

Family & Innovation

  • Spending time with my kids is my greatest source of inspiration. They remind me why empathy, curiosity, and adaptability matter.
  • Innovation is my lifelong pursuit—whether it’s building AI-powered platforms, transforming legacy systems, or imagining new ways to make technology more inclusive.

I believe that innovation isn’t just about what we build—it’s about who we build it for.

Advocacy & Volunteering

Active volunteer across multiple initiatives, including serving as a gene therapy representative—bridging the gap between patient communities and research teams to advance understanding, empathy, and transformative care
