a bit about me

Versatile Late Bloomer

I am a late bloomer to discovering what I do well and for what degree I should have pursued when I first entered college.  Sort of like the iterations required to achieve good design, my career journey has been a series of valuable iterations. From administrative and accounting support, to real estate investment sales, to product design support–these experiences prove agile learning and adaptability which adds value to any team in today’s changing marketplace. In addition, my ongoing self-learning is driven by interest in all things software product development. The spectrum of my work experience align with operations or project support roles in the fintech, blockchain, or real estate industries.

Finally, my past work, academic, and self-study experiences enable me to empathize and, effectively, communicate with users, engineering and design teams, and business stakeholders, comfortably. Speaking of late bloomer, in 2022, I kept a promise to myself to finish my college degree.  Below is the commencement speech program advisors at my alma mater asked me to deliver to my program’s 2024 graduating class.
