Product Manager at Amazon

Hello! I'm a person like many people out there who did not go in a 'straight line' from school to my present career as a product manager in educational software. I started in secondary with a passion for journalism, and then ended up after university joining the US Army and learning a TON about leadership as well as how to solve problems as a team. Then I worked with NGOs on education programs. Then I worked on software product management in business settings, such as learning how to sell things more efficiently on Amazon.com. Then, in my last stop, I ended up working on a social impact team at Amazon developing free educational software experiences and donation programs to help students learn about careers in technology. If you want to learn about the zig-zag of careers possible -- come talk to me!
