As an Operations and CX Manager, I have experience in managing direct reports as well as scaling large cross-functioning teams. I have startup experience, having spent 2 years helping develop the operations department at Citizen. Additionally, I have experience working with creative departments - heavily with animation, writing and producing for an animation studio. My past experience allowed me to utilize my previous creative project and operations management experience with a customer facing role, focused on people management and customer communications. I have experience with managing outsourced and remote teams, tracking metrics, and hitting my SLAs every quarter. In my most recent role, I worked as a customer success manager in the telehealth industry - analyzing crucial pain points in the onboarding process and creatively coming up with solutions for higher conversion rates.

Senior Product Manager with 7+ years of industry experience leading cross-functional teams to launch subscription and monetization features for a $300M+ revenue business. Proven track record driving measurable growth, including a 7% lift in CVR and a 3% ARR increase through pricing experiments. My passion is in building impactful, intuitive products. It’s exciting to create solutions that help users accomplish their intentions with ease. At Chegg, my role as Senior Product Manager for Commerce Platforms revolves around enhancing our commerce capabilities to bolster the growth of our 8 million subscribers. My expertise in monetization strategy has been instrumental in optimizing growth in the lower funnel and contributing to our robust commerce infrastructure. By fostering strong cross-functional collaboration with engineering, marketing, and finance teams, I ensure that our product initiatives are aligned with business objectives and executed flawlessly. I've driven the discovery, roadmap prioritization, and execution of major lower funnel initiatives, such as price increases on flagship subscription products and price testing. This work has resulted in conversion rate increases of up to 65% in key markets and millions of dollars in incremental revenue for the business. I have also helped architect our commerce infrastructure by onboarding a fallback payment processor and implementing new payment methods, like GPay and Venmo. Leading the charge in delivering impactful product initiatives, I leverage my analytical acumen and technical skills in data analysis and SQL skills to support business objectives. I take pride in working with a skilled team of designers, developers, and analysts to build seamless user experiences that not only drive revenue but also enhance the value Chegg provides to millions of students worldwide. With a commitment to continuous learning and a passion for product innovation, I am always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible in commerce and deliver customer experiences that surprise and delight.
