Where I am and how I got here

My work has always lived at the intersection of emerging technology and human experience —especially during periods of rapid change.

I began my career in New York book publishing before moving into early digital media as a founding member at Chowhound, where I helped shape the platform’s original video strategy. As Executive Video Editor I was nominated for the first online video Emmy Award, and later transitioned into product work — drawn less to output and more to how teams make good decisions while building new systems.

In 2013, I joined Scripps Networks to help build their first video-first initiative for the Food Network, working at the edge of audience behavior, content strategy, and platform change. From 2014 to 2016, I worked across early-stage startups — including Last Guide Company, Shift, and Babylist — during a period of rapid experimentation in mobile technology and marketplace design. These roles deepened my interest in how people navigate new systems before norms, language, and best practices exist.

In 2016, I became Director of Content at Outdoorsy, where I built the company's first local content initiative, and from 2017-2019, I served as Executive Video Producer and Senior Content Marketer at Zillow, partnering closely with product and brand leaders during a period of significant platform evolution.

I joined Pinterest in late 2019 to work on new initiatives, and in 2022, became Chief of Staff for TwoTwenty, Pinterest’s in-house product incubator. On a small, early-stage team, I support AI products from idea to launch — leading user research, shaping and testing prompts, and helping teams work through legal and security reviews. My focus has been on building quickly while staying grounded in how people experience and trust AI products.
