SKIMS makes clothes that people love to wear — especially basics like underwear, shapewear, loungewear, and so much more. We focus on making every body type feel confident and comfortable.

I help keep the digital side of the business running smoothly, like the website and app. I work with different teams to make sure everything works well and gets better over time.

• Organize and lead planning meetings for product and engineering teams

• Drive innovative solutions to solve problems that come up during our digital launches or releases
• Share updates and performance insights with leadership

• Looker

Hard:

• Project management
• Data analysis
• Workflow tools like Jira/Notion
• Basic UX understanding

Soft:

• Problem-solving
• Collaboration
• Staying calm under pressure

How much behind-the-scenes coordination it takes to launch even the smallest change on a website or app. There are so many moving parts, and success depends on how well teams communicate and align.

Balancing the needs of multiple teams while dealing with constant change and tight timelines. A lot of the work is about managing ambiguity, solving blockers, and keeping momentum — even when priorities shift suddenly.

Start by learning the basics of product development and project management — YouTube, free courses, or LinkedIn Learning are great. Try shadowing a product or operations team if you can, or join a startup where you can wear many hats and learn fast.

Internally, I’m driven by the desire to make things better — smoother processes, stronger teamwork, smarter decisions.

Externally, I’m motivated by the impact of the work — when customers have a great experience because of something we fixed or improved, that’s what keeps me going... that and my hand in creating something truly cool.

To lead product strategy and operations at a company where innovation, inclusivity, and impact intersect — ideally something that shapes culture, aligns with my personal interests, and helps improve people's lives in some fashion.

I want to continue sharpening my strategic thinking and executive communication, while staying grounded in empathy, adaptability, and curiosity. It’s all about seeing the bigger picture but still caring about the little details that make a difference.

I have a unique ability to bring structure to chaos while keeping people engaged and aligned. I’m especially strong at building authentic relationships across teams, which helps me connect the dots, navigate conflict, and drive progress — even when priorities are messy or unclear. I don’t just manage projects — I help people work better together.

“Build relationships before you need them.”

It reminded me that trust and collaboration are the foundation for getting anything meaningful done — and that people matter more than projects.

“Just keep your head down and do good work.”

While effort is important, I’ve learned that visibility, communication, and advocating for yourself are just as crucial to growth and opportunity.

That clarity is everything — and it rarely comes automatically. I’ve learned that asking the “dumb” questions early, pushing for alignment, and over-communicating can save everyone time, stress, and rework later. It took trial and error to realize how much influence you can have just by getting people on the same page.

One moment that stands out is when I helped lead a major launch with multiple teams under tight timelines, and we pulled it off with minimal issues because of the cross-functional process I helped build. Seeing people lean on that structure — and watching it actually reduce stress for others — was a reminder that my work matters.

I regret not advocating for myself more consistently early in my career — whether it was asking for stretch opportunities, setting boundaries, or being vocal about my ambitions. Playing it safe helped me survive, but it didn’t always help me grow.

Be dependable, be honest, and don’t leave things messy for the next person. I take pride in doing things well even when no one’s watching, and I believe in following through — if I say I’ll do it, I do it.

Curiosity and consistency. People who ask good questions, stay hungry to learn, and keep showing up — especially when it’s hard — tend to outpace those waiting for perfect conditions. It’s not about brilliance; it’s about resilience.

I break it down into smaller, doable steps and try to learn just enough to start. I don’t let fear stop me from trying — I treat it like a rep at the gym: the more you do it, the stronger you get.

I also lean on people who’ve done it before and ask for guidance.

Your network is your net worth. Networking has been huge for me — not just for job opportunities, but for mentorship, collaboration, and growth.

My best tip: show up as a real person, not just a résumé. Be curious, offer value, and follow up in ways that feel human, not transactional.

Absolutely. For me, balance means having the space to show up fully at work and still have energy for the people and passions that matter most. I try to set boundaries around my time, take breaks without guilt, and remind myself that rest is productive too. I work to live, not live to work.

I used to value being the busiest person in the room, like it proved I was important. Now, I value clarity, focus, and peace of mind.

On the flip side, I used to think relationships were secondary to performance — now I know they’re foundational to success.

I’d build experiences that bring people joy — curating travel, creating events, and designing spaces that help people connect, unwind, and feel inspired. I’d blend creativity, culture, and community into everything I do.

The rise of AI-driven personalization and how it can make digital shopping feel more human and intuitive. I’m excited by tools that help brands better understand customers in real time — and use that insight to create smarter, more seamless experiences.

You don’t need to have it all figured out — just stay curious, stay open, and trust your instincts. The path isn’t linear, but you’ll get exactly where you’re meant to be by showing up with purpose and courage.
