WHO I AM

In a nutshell

APM/PM Roles

My CS background helps me understand technical tradeoffs, scope work realistically, and communicate clearly with engineering teams. I am comfortable moving between technical details and business priorities so decisions are grounded and practical.

While finishing my degree at CSULB, I manage digital platform work at Beach Media across planning, launch coordination, and performance improvement. I care about thoughtful execution, measurable outcomes, and building products people actually enjoy using.
