At Cisco she has grown from individual contributor to team lead, bringing user-focused troubleshooting and process improvements to complex content security issues. Her prior roles include project management for web teams and automating workflows with VBA, demonstrating both people leadership and a knack for productivity tooling. Actively building a front-end portfolio and certified through Free Code Camp, she’s aiming to expand into back-end development while applying her visual design strengths to user interfaces.
