Product Manager

Project Management

MBA graduate with 7+ years  of combined experience with product management, marketing, sales, and analytics.

I manage the earbud and headphone products at Braven Audio from inception to delivery.

I worked with all organizational levels and groups to develop and manage programs and resources for IBM Watson Health. Managing these projects included identifying risks and anlayzing product strategy then clearly communicating them to project stakeholders to facilitate successful product development through the full project cycle.

Program Manager - Watson Health

I researched the markets and analyzed the needs of the consumers to find products Blendtec could develop to fill those needs. These insights were found through resources such as surveys, market data, and by observing industry trends. In order to get products approved, business cases were written and presented to executives. I managed products from the time they were conceived until they were completed. Once the products were completed and for sale, I monitored the product lineups to ensure that all the products were priced and positioned properly. Inefficient SKUs were updated or cut. As a department we reduced active product SKUs by 65%, which allowed significant resources to be freed up for other uses.


As the marketing operations and analytics intern, I was responsible for analyzing all email campaigns and web data using several analytic programs including Google Analytics and Litmus. I developed a product launch plan for two major product releases. This planning included strategic planning of key project dates, writing press releases, and coordinating photo shoots. I wasalso given the responsibility of being the athlete media coordinator, which required me to keep in contact with sponsored athletes and keep a database of their upcoming race events.

Marketing Operations and Analytics Intern

I was responsible for maintaining the database of clients who had contracts that were up for renewal. I then researched clients who were in the process of renewing their contracts with 3M and used that information to create client specific pricing information. After the research and pricing was completed, I assembled contracts for the clients and their use of 3M’s health information system products.

Pricing Analyst/ Renewal Specialist

As a selection advisor the process included finding marching band talent from around the country to perform at some of college football’s biggest bowl games including the BCS Championship, Sugar Bowl, and Orange Bowl. As an event director the responsibilities included playing an integral part in operating a pre-game and half time program for college bowl games. My responsibilities surrounded the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, California.

Event Selection Advisor/ Event Director

Responsible for consulting 70 clients per week on the techniques of investing in tax delinquent properties. This process included assisting in goal setting and problem solving during this process.

Tax Sale Consultant

Trained in, and rotated through, several departments of the company. The final rotation was in the Sales/Delivery organization as a route sales representative for Aramark’s Uniform Services Division. 
Ensured effective customer communications, managed a route independently, and promoted route growth through active personal sales and account retention

Route Sales Representative

During the internship I was responsible for compiling and delivering financial analysis and operational analysis reports as well as other ad hoc reports. Reports included consultant utilization and profitability analysis, project profitability analysis, and budget to actual variance analysis
