About
As a multifaceted technology leader with a rich blend of technical expertise and business acumen, I’ve spent the last several years bridging the gap between software development and strategic innovation. With over three years of full-time experience in roles ranging from Software Management to Data Analysis, and eight years of business-related roles, I’ve developed a unique ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable strategies that drive both innovation and operational efficiency.
At Boeing, I currently serve as a Software Manager, where I’ve led enterprise-level initiatives focused on integrating cloud solutions, enhancing cybersecurity, and optimizing software applications for cost savings and performance. These efforts have consistently ensured that critical projects were delivered on time and within budget, while meeting stringent compliance and security standards.
Prior to this, I had the opportunity to work with NASA as a Data Analyst Intern, where I contributed to space exploration initiatives by leveraging data science and predictive analytics to solve mission-critical challenges. My experience in technical roles like this, combined with my background as a Facilities Analyst and Product Manager Intern, has given me a holistic perspective on the ways technology can be harnessed to solve real-world problems.
In addition to my technical work, I’m also passionate about mentoring and talent development. As a BYU-Boeing Ambassador, I actively work to recruit and mentor young talent, particularly in the fields of aerospace and technology. I take pride in fostering a culture of innovation and growth within my teams, always striving to empower others to push boundaries and think creatively.
Beyond my professional roles, I am deeply committed to continuous learning and personal growth. Currently pursuing a degree in Information Systems Management, I’ve had the chance to study Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, Database Systems, and Programming, skills I continue to refine and integrate into my work.
Driven by a love for both technology and human-centered solutions, I aim to continue making an impact in roles where I can lead transformative projects that merge technical sophistication with strategic vision. Whether it’s optimizing enterprise software, developing cutting-edge data solutions, or leading cross-functional teams, my goal is to leave a lasting impact on the technology landscape.
