"Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated". 

Whether it's running my business, building mobile apps or caring for my horses, I am 100% obsessed with everything I do. 

As a Carnegie Mellon University graduate, I'm no stranger to hard work. Lots of it. I graduated summa cum laude in May 2014 with a B.A. in Global Studies and a triple minor in Anthropology, Business Administration and Hispanic Studies. I made deans list with high honors every single semester, and maintained a 3.95 QPA throughout my entire academic career. 

As a business owner, I've encountered more hard work than I ever imagined (although I absolutely love every minute of it). I started Hunt Club in March 2014 from my dorm room with a few trays of sparkly beads, Adobe Photoshop, and a whole lot of passion. Since then, Hunt Club has shipped perfectly wrapped packages to hundreds of avid equestrians in 10 countries and is still growing. 

As a product manager I've certainly worked hard; but I've also learned how to work smart. I started at PNC Bank as a Digital Experience Product Manager on the Mobile and Emerging Payments team in August of 2014, and have truly found a niche for myself in the fast-paced world of mobile computing.  I have had the opportunity to hone my skills as both an experience designer and a coordination master - maximizing the talents of those around me to design, create and push new features our customers will love.   

As an amateur equestrian, I've learned that all that hard work doesn't really seem like work when it's in support of something you love. Early mornings, late nights, heavy buckets, dirty hands and muddy jeans all come with the territory of working with horses, and I love every minute of it. 

When you're 100% obsessed with what you're doing,  hard work very rarely seems like work at all. Here's hoping that I can continue to be obsessed with whatever I'm doing for the rest of my life- I'm looking forward to the ride.
