About

I thrive at the intersection of transportation and technology, working to enhance city safety and accessibility. With a proven track record in operations and project management, I’ve been a key contributor to the growth of autonomous vehicle industry leaders.

Most recently I’ve returned to Pittsburgh to spend more time with family and reconnect with my hometown. I’m continuing my journey in the autonomous vehicle industry and taking on special projects.

Previously I was a Senior Operations Coordinator at Cruise in San Francisco where I supported fleet growth, led incident cases, and served as a subject matter expert for expansion cities. Before Cruise, I contributed to AV research and development at Voyage and Uber ATG.

My diverse career also includes valuable experiences in commercial and residential real estate, boutique retail, and media production 🔗 . Throughout my journey, I’ve demonstrated a commitment to excellence, innovation, and integrity, making me a versatile professional in the dynamic technology and operations landscape.
