Career Highlights
I currently serve as a Director of Product Management, where I have expanded my leadership from a single product line to a broader portfolio of enterprise tax solutions. With more than 10 years of tax experience and a strong foundation in product management, I bring a differentiated perspective that connects deep domain expertise with strategic product development. In my current role, I lead the alignment of multiple product areas under a unified vision, driving stronger cross-functional execution and delivering more cohesive, user-centered solutions.
I have focused on elevating how we translate the evolving needs of tax professionals into actionable product strategy, ensuring our offerings remain both relevant and impactful. This transition has positioned me to operate at a more strategic level while continuing to influence product direction through technical insight and customer-centric thinking.
What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community or the world?
Following my relocation to Washington, DC and transition into a director-level role, I have been intentional about establishing a strong foundation in this next phase of my career. As I do, I am actively re-engaging in community involvement, with a focus on volunteering at local animal shelters.
I am also committed to advancing women in tax, product, and leadership by mentoring, sharing insights, and helping create clearer pathways for growth. Looking ahead, I plan to take a more active role in the broader professional community, contributing thought leadership and supporting others navigating similar career transitions.
