Had a great coffee chat with Peeya! She was incredibly generous with her time and shared really practical insights about transitioning into product management from a technical background. Her advice on the internship search and how to position yourself for PM roles was genuinely helpful. Highly recommend booking a session with her if you are exploring PM or looking for career guidance!

I booked a quick resume review session with Peeya, and it was genuinely very helpful. I really appreciated how she pointed out specific areas I could improve while also encouraging me about my strengths. The session felt supportive, practical, and motivating, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for resume or career guidance.

Really appreciate Peeya's ability to fluently communicate about her current work, and her successful transition from being a product analyst to now managing it. We talked about her small side initiatives, which compounded over time and were instrumental in her transition. I would recommend anyone interested in this area to set up a chat with her.

Really glad I booked this session! Got honest, specific feedback on my resume that I could actually act on right away. It felt like talking to a friend who genuinely wanted to help rather than just going through the motions. Highly recommend!

About me
Hi, I’m Peeya :)
Ever since I was young, I’ve loved bringing structure to chaos — whether that meant organizing my day into to-do lists or planning family trips in Excel.
Today, I’m a Product Owner at COUNTRY Financial, where I turn business and user needs into actionable product requirements, partner closely with engineering and analytics teams, and help ship data-backed digital experiences.
My path into product wasn’t perfectly linear. I started with a data background, explored different internships and roles, built my story piece by piece, and eventually transitioned into a full-time product role.
Most of the conversations I find myself having are around:
• breaking into Product Management
• moving from data/tech/business into product
• telling your story better
• resumes, interviews, and networking
• figuring out your next career move
So if that’s where you’re at, book a chat - I’d love to help.
You can expect honest advice, practical tips, and a real conversation.
And when I’m not writing user stories, you’ll probably find me exploring a new city, trying a cute coffee shop, lifting at the gym, shopping for my next favorite find and channeling main-character energy a little too seriously.
