Work Stuff

I’m currently a product manager at Facebook. I’ve launched things like FB5, the future of Facebook.com. FB5 is built from scratch with a modern tech stack to be simpler and faster. Check it out here.

Previously, I was a senior product manager at Dollar Shave Club, where I launched the ratings and reviews platform and a customized home page for our members. DSC was acquired by Unilever for $1 billion. That was a fun day!

My first job in tech was as a software engineer at J.Crew / Madewell in New York City. I built a tool that powers the marketing emails you receive. I also built the shipment confirmation emails you receive when your purchase ships. Exciting stuff.

I started my career as a lawyer, focusing on multidistrict litigation. The last trial I prepped resulted in a $9 billion verdict, which was the seventh largest verdict in history. I’m licensed to practice in the U.S. Supreme Court, and I was named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer in 2014.

Fun Facts

I love traveling to places outside of my comfort zone and learning about how other people live. I document my travels and photography on my blog, City Gal.

I’m certified to skipper by the American Sailing Association, and can often be found sailing in San Francisco Bay or hanging out at Angel Island. 

I’m fascinated by vintage maps. I started my collection accidentally when I found a 1919 map of the British Isles at Portobello Market.

I love the Himalayas, have studied Buddhism, and can often be found at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, just north of San Francisco.
