I am an engineering executive with 15+ years of experience at Google and Stripe. I grew my own career from internship to directorship with 5 promotions in 10 years at Google. I also got Superb and Outstanding ratings for most of my time at Google. 

I truly believe that setting yourself apart with bold strategies is the way to have an accelerated career in a competitive landscape. I now coach leaders from top tech companies to be outstanding.

I have given multiple talks (Women TechMakers, Ethan Evans Level Up Community) and written guest posts (Google Blog, High Growth Engineer, Path To Staff) on many of my unusual career growth strategies.
