Biography

Job Description: I'm a Product Manager at Tractor Zoom, where I own the direction of a data-driven platform from discovery through delivery. I use customer intelligence to uncover real needs, and I turn what I learn into a roadmap that translates strategy into concrete milestones. I bring UX research and design skills into how I approach product decisions, which means I tend to go find out how something actually works before committing to a direction rather than assuming.

What advice would you give to a student interested in pursuing a job or career field like yours?

"Design isn't about being the most creative or artistic. It's about listening and connecting as many dots as you can to solve a problem, then finding out if your idea hits the mark."
