EXPERIENCE
BDMÂ (DIRECTOR STRATEGY & FORECASTING),
AMET
October 2018 - August 2022
In a small company, everyone wears more than one hat. At AMET, I'm the website manager, the only person dealing with Data & Analytics, the sole person responsible for strategy, project manager on Google adwords, project manager on our SaaS app that has gone to market, and project manager on our Salesforce integration.
I was brought in to develop the business, and that's exactly what has happened. In my time, AMET revenue has grown 7X. That looks like 50%, 25%, 20%, and 30% YoY growth in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 respectively. Google adwords ROI hovers around 1200%, our app has a roadmap for long term success, and our Saleforce offers ease of use in house and to our customers.
TM, SWISHER INTERNATIONAL
May 2016 - May 2017
With 1,200 accounts under my umbrella, I quickly made my mark, despite being the youngest on my team in terms of age and seniority. By having face to face interactions with local business owners, I grew product investment, increased SKU diversity, and optimized placement.
​
By the time I left, I was the number one TM on my team, and in the top 15% for all of the western portion of the company.
BDM (PRODUCT MANAGER), BALANCE CXI
August 2015 - May 2016
Working for the start-up that acquired my start-up, my new focus was product development. Working with teams all over the world, I helped strengthen a product used by Comcast, AARP, and Bright House Networks.
​
My focus at Balance CX was aligning users with their customers by understanding CX, CSAT, and CRES. This took constant calibration between stakeholders, users, clients, third parties, and internal departments.
CIO, XAIROS CORP.
December 2014 - August 2015
Started in college, I helped develop an app that helps people meet. I was in charge of road mapping CX, building screens, and sifting through features. After months of working, my company was selected for the TechCrunch pitch off.
After presenting, my company caught the eye of another Austin based start-up.

EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Learning and Living
CODING CERTIFICATE,
UT AUSTIN
I learned the ins and outs of making a MERN stack application. I worked with teams to build applications and learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, GraphQL, MongoDB, SQL, Node, React, & Express.
POLY SCI & PHILOSOPHY, TEXAS STATE
This was the time in school I loved the most. My courses changed from learn, learn, test/ regurgitate and turned into learn, apply, and defend. I truly believe it was in this time the word became my oyster. During these years I also worked 30 hours a week and would tack on a full time job in the summer.
I learned how to question concepts, not for the sake of question, but to build upon them.
BIOLOGY, TAMUCC
Surprisingly, my college career started as a pre-med student. I did rather well, consistently destroying the curve for my classmates. However, I knew my heart wasn't in it. All of my free time was spent scouring news sources, and learning more about the world. By the time I left, I knew I had outgrown this place and it was time to change my studies.

My Background
I’m an experienced professional based in Austin, Texas. My work is focused on getting a company to realize their potential without foregoing their vision. Sometimes this happens by getting new products to market. Other times, this means helping a company become the industry authority they always knew they could be.
I’m happy to apply the experience and skills I’ve obtained in my career in order to manage projects, conceptualize features and products, and deliver change through creative problem solving and innovative thinking. I possess a strong eye for detail and can thrive independently as well as in a team environment.
Whether you need someone for a short-term project, or a long-term collaboration, I’d love to hear from you. You’re invited to explore my work and contact me so we can discuss how we can do some great work together.
