About
I'm a growth strategist and hands-on eCommerce expert with 15+ years of experience helping DTC and CPG brands scale across Shopify, Amazon, and beyond. Most recently, I served as Director of eCommerce at UCAN, where I led a full platform migration to Shopify Plus, doubled sitewide CVR, and built scalable programs for new customer acquisition, subscriptions, and retention. I thrive in strategy and execution — whether it's optimizing a Shopify funnel, building a retention engine, running site tests, or fixing friction across the customer journey. I'm especially drawn to brands that move fast, challenge conventions, listen to their customers, and focus on delivering real, lasting brand value. Let’s work together to turn high-intent traffic into long-term growth.
