I’m currently a Principal Product Manager at Instacart, where I focus on affordability and making the platform more accessible to users of all budgets. I transitioned into product management from a nontraditional background, having spent 5 years in financial services. The journey of breaking into product and shifting from enterprise PM to consumer was incredibly challenging—I lacked mentors and had to learn many lessons the hard way. Now, I’m passionate about providing the mentorship and guidance I wish I had to help early and aspiring PMs navigate their own journeys with more support and confidence.
