Non-linear path.
Intentional direction.
Started in the Visible Heart Lab at the University of Minnesota — studying cardiac physiology and biomedical engineering at the device level. That foundation of understanding how complex systems fail, adapt, and heal has shaped how I think about product ever since.
Took an unpaved road into video and brand storytelling at Motion 117, learning that the hardest part of any complex idea is making it land for someone who doesn't already care. That skill travels.

Now: senior product leader building platforms that help people navigate the hardest moments in health — from a 0→1 care navigation build that cut time-to-care to 48 hours, to a behavioral health analytics platform serving enterprise clients at national scale.
