Partnered with design, product management, and engineering leadership to architect and implement scalable operational systems, enhancing the Design Systems team's velocity and executional excellence by 200% within two months of project kickoff in Phase 1.

Led, designed, and built an automated end-to-end workflow and data collection system to monitor, plan, and execute key initiatives based on data-driven insights, including resource allocation, onboarding, and internal communications, reducing project friction by 40% and accelerating org-wide systems adoption in Phase 2 by 30% due to the success in Phase 1.

Managed vendor relationships, contract workflows, and automated performance tracking to extend team capacity and ensure accountability, increasing asset delivery velocity by 55%.

Drove cross-functional alignment with Product and Engineering Operations, aligning OKRs, roadmaps, and delivery milestones.

Facilitated retrospectives, team health check-ins, and continuous improvement efforts to optimize team performance and ensure continuous improvement.

I lead the UX Design and Research Ops for Fashion & Live Commerce where I've built a standardized end-to-end PDLC process, in consultation with partner teams across

eBay’s Focus Categories, [PMO - Product & innovation - Design & research - Engineering] to improve efficiency by leveraging internal automation tools to reduce

duplicative work, increase accuracy in data reporting, and implement efficient meeting/document/communication hygiene within a highly agile environment.

• I own the design team backlog and lead weekly check-ins, run standups and sprint planning, retrospectives and other meetings, including executive leadership reviews to manage

design backlogs with Prod partners to ensure requirements are captured accurately and directly on design tickets for documentation hygiene and reporting accuracy, reviews and

sign-offs are in place, and identify project risks for effective mitigation strategies.

• I practice effective stakeholder management plan meeting etiquette practices with

clear goals and agendas to ensure meetings are only held when necessary, that has shown to increase productivity by 25%.

• I track project health (i.e. milestones, deliverables, and project risks), gather project requirements from release planning and check-ins with Product and Dev - and communicate

project needs clearly to the Design & Research team to ensure timely delivery,

• I identified the need to improve the end-to-end Product-Design-Dev Ops process during my first annual resource planning exercise and proactively led the process improvement project with a growing team of cross functional consultants from the Design, Product, Engineering and PMO teams twice a week to iterate on solutions for real-life use cases/pain-points to ensure a holistic and well-represented solutions are identified and met across the board.

• Currently at UC Berkeley for Artificial Intelligence: Business Strategies and Applications and implementing best practices at the workplace.

Through firsthand experience of falling, failing and feeling ‘stuck’, I’ve learned that ‘glass ceilings’ truly does exist for those who come from humble beginnings and underserved communities.

I spent many years relentlessly searching for mentors who can show me tangible, action-driven steps to grow in my career, and I’m lucky to have found a handful of special individuals who made time for me along the way -- though much later on in life.

Now that I’m in a good place, I’m ready to pay it forward through 30-minute initial consultations for individuals from underserved communities, Pro Bono.

Bring your enthusiasm along with your current resume and tell me your story:

What drives you?

What life experiences have you had and was there a tipping point that fueled your desire for change?

Keep it real and unpretentious, and don’t be shy.

I’ll walk with you.
