Psychology, built into things people actually use.

I design mental health apps and HR training grounded in behavioral science — work that sits at the intersection of how people think and how organizations run.

things I built so I'd stop spiraling

Apps & tools

Built for personal use during hard moments — no credentials, no cure, just practical tools for anxiety, overthinking, and hard days that turned out to help other people too.

A bit about me

I've spent over a decade being the person teams turn to when things get complicated — the operator who steps into transitions, untangles the chaos, and keeps people moving forward. What I've come to realize is that the part of that work I care about most was never the P&L or the SOPs. It's the moment someone finally feels safe enough to say what's actually going on.

I don't judge, because I've been there.

My background is in business operations and HR — leading finance, people strategy, and operational scaling for organizations moving through growth, leadership transitions, and uncertainty, from a $100M multi-venue entertainment company to a global software marketplace. I've built HR infrastructure from the ground up, kept the lights on through CEO and CFO transitions, and been the steady hand people count on when things get shaky. Somewhere along the way, the budgets and the SOPs became almost incidental to the real work: helping people feel steady enough to keep going.

Right now I'm using AI to build the tools I wished existed for myself — apps for anxious, overthinking days, and manager training grounded in real psychology research instead of compliance boxes. It's how I've been teaching myself these skills, one project at a time. What I'm looking for next is a way to bring that operations and HR experience directly into the mental health space — a tech company, or somewhere building experiences for people's wellbeing — work where the rigor and the human part aren't treated as separate things.
