I’m a Software Program Manager, Entrepreneur, and budding Urban Farmer who is passionate about growth and optimization for teams and individuals and sparking joy with what I cultivate and create. I’ve led the delivery of software at billion dollar eCommerce companies, energy sector businesses, healthcare providers, and small startups. I operate businesses and lead projects from concept to launch and every iteration thereafter, with direct responsibility for day-to-day operations and management of process and workflow.

And I’d love to connect and work with you.

    Recently completed the Grow Moore Produce Cooperative‍ Farm Apprenticeship Program (August - October 2026) where I learned how to start and manage an urban farm from a co-op of 11 farms in the city of Detroit. I learned sustainable and organic farming practices including lessons on how to search for and acquire land; food safety; how to seed/transplant, grow, and harvest a variety of fruits, herbs, and vegetables; where and how to sell farm products; how to budget for a farm; how to choose the right tools and machinery for a farm; how to identify/control for pests and weeds; and what programs can help fund a farm.
