♥ about me

I'm the Senior Manager of Customer Experience at Dr. Squatch. For 10+ years I've built and scaled customer-facing teams: Tier 1 and Tier 2 support, technical support, BPO partners, quality, training, and the analytics that tie it all back to the business.

My favorite kind of win is the quiet one: a help center that makes thousands of tickets disappear, an AI rollout customers actually rate highly, a team member who grows into a leader. I work hand in hand with Product, Marketing and Engineering so the whole customer journey gets better, not just the inbox.
