I studied computer science in college and knew I wanted to work in a field that used cutting-edge technology to solve problems. I'm also a big ideas person and love the process of starting from scratch and piecing together a solution I believe in, so product management seemed the perfect balance.
I found myself at YouTube through following managers and colleagues I was excited to work with, and have been continuously inspired by the platform's impact across so many spheres - education, entertainment, interpersonal connections, and more. Working on tools for small businesses has been especially interesting- the problems are accessible, the users are relatable, and there's a lot of gratification in empowering individuals who are passionate about their own work.
