About

Calm, clear help when the stakes are high

I spent more than five years at Amazon Web Services in Trust & Safety. I started by verifying abuse reports and handling sensitive content, moved up to the Enterprise Trust & Safety team, and finished as a Customer Advisor working with strategic enterprise customers and the Engineering, Product, Security, Legal and Policy teams behind them.

Before AWS I was a Customer Success Manager at PayScale, a Managing Broker in Seattle real estate, and a Product Specialist supporting aviation software and flight computers at ASA. The common thread: I take complicated, sometimes stressful situations and make them clear, fair and resolved for the people involved.

I am an AWS Certified AI Practitioner, I am studying for CompTIA Security+, and I run a small web studio, PinPoint Presence, where I build sites with AI assisted development workflows. I also hold a commercial pilot certificate and a degree in aviation management. I am looking for my next role in Trust & Safety and Customer Trust (including AI safety), enterprise escalations, Customer Success, TAM and account management, or IT Support.
