💬 Author Bio

After more than a decade managing products for global brands—first in the physical world, then in digital—I’ve seen just how unclear the path into PM can be. That’s why I created this guide: to give you a real-world, practical roadmap into the role.

I hold a Finance degree from the University of Portland and an MBA with a concentration in IT from Texas Tech University. But what truly shaped my career were the lessons learned on the ground—leading cross-functional teams, launching complex products, and navigating constant change.
