In My Own Words
I've noticed a decline in great gear for badass women, and I'd like to help create awesome new products to help women thrive in outdoor sports.
I balance technical know-how and street smarts. I am an engineer, a snowboarder, a project manager, an artist, a product developer, and an adventurer.
My bag of tricks: Agile software (Jira, Asana, Basecamp, Merlin, Smartsheets, Rally), Slack, Bugzilla, Splunk, Android & iOS applications, Android & Apple Watch apps, SaaS, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator, Machine shop savvy
