Your Guide to Making Work Suck Less

I've learned to play the corporate game so you don't have to figure it out alone. Let me help you navigate workplace challenges and find fulfillment in your career.

I Understand Your Workplace Struggles

I understand the frustration of trying to thrive in a workplace that wasn't designed for humans. The constant urgency, unclear expectations, and managers who don't know how to help you grow—I've experienced it all firsthand.

A common refrain from middle managers is to help you do "more of what you like and less of what you don't." Most managers don't know how to do this. I do.

My Journey

EasyPost

PA → SF

I was going to be a high school Spanish teacher. New York City would be my home, teaching my career, and comedy my passion. But life had other plans.

Instead, I found myself at a logistics API company called EasyPost, where I quickly learned what it means to "wear many hats." In name, I was a support engineer, but in practice, I became a project, product, and operations manager; a sales engineer, onboarding specialist, and technical program manager.

EasyPost

SF → Utah

Five months after starting my career in San Francisco, I was tasked with hiring and leading a team in Utah. I built that team to sixteen support engineers and replaced myself with three team leads.

Along the way, I learned what it truly means to delegate effectively, discovered the importance of presence of mind in hiring, and established coherent processes that worked.

EasyPost → Affirm

Utah → SF

When all was said and done, I moved into a technical role at EasyPost back in SF. In an act of fateful timing, I then joined Affirm as a Sr. Technical Account Manager.

At Affirm, I managed the Technical Account Management team through the pandemic. I hired, promoted, and coached. I advocated, consoled, and facilitated. Most importantly: I learned the game, inside and out.

SF → Philadelphia

Then I moved back home. Having completed my journey from coast-to-coast-and-back, I left Affirm to start helping others Make Work Suck Less.
