Leadership Development Speaker & Consultant | Pres. West Jordan Chamber of Commerce | Silicon Slopes Women in Leadership Chair
Technical Product Manager leveraging linguistics & AI to build smarter products. I turn visionary ideas into reality, from AI-powered tools that save veterinary doctors 10-15 hours of work a week to EdTech platforms that seamlessly roster millions of students. With a background in language data and product management, I bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and user needs.
🤖 AI Innovation: At VCA, spearheaded the launch of an AI-driven medical scribe used by 500+ veterinarians, freeing up 2 hours per doctor per day for patient care and unlocking $40 million+ in additional revenue.
🚀 Product Growth: At Imagine Learning, led the merger of 3 product lines into one rostering platform, improving customer retention and reducing operational costs.
📈 Process Optimization: Streamlined annual client onboarding through better data tools and customer training.
My core skills include product roadmap strategy, cross-functional team leadership (Engineering, UX, Marketing), and data-driven decision making. I’m fluent in Agile/Scrum and love translating customer voice into features. Whether it’s improving K-12 learning outcomes or deploying AI in healthcare, I’m passionate about technology that empowers people.
When I’m not building products, you might find me outdoors, 3D printing, playing games, or dancing with my kids. Whether you’re curious about AI-driven products, rapid prototyping, or the magic of language data, let’s connect and explore what’s next!
I’m a senior embedded software engineer with over 20 years of hands‑on experience building and testing mission‑critical firmware for aerospace, defense, and medical systems. I’ve led test‑automation projects at places like Testeract, L3 Communications, and General Atomics, where I helped deliver safety‑critical software for NASA’s Dream Chaser program under DO‑178C standards. My day‑to‑day work revolves around low‑level C/C++ development on real‑time operating systems such as FreeRTOS, QNX, and VxWorks, plus a lot of hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing using LabVIEW, TestStand, and custom Python scripts. I’ve also built IoT firmware for pet‑tracking devices, created DTLS networking stacks, and worked on high‑performance Linux and NVIDIA Jetson platforms. As a technical lead, I enjoy mentoring engineers, streamlining processes, and tackling complex, safety‑sensitive challenges.
