AI security.

A nine-year arc across three companies: Microsoft, Pangea, then CrowdStrike. The throughline: making complex, fast-moving technology legible to the people who have to defend, ship, or build on top of it.

Product Marketing Manager · AI Detection & Response (AIDR)

PMM for AIDR after CrowdStrike's September 2025 acquisition of Pangea. Owns the launch story for AI Detection and Response, and writes about how prompt-injection attacks really work.

  • Co-launched AI Unlocked: Decoding Prompt Injection, an interactive challenge across three progressively harder environments: Command Center, Data Gateway, and Nexus.
  • Authored a quarter's worth of AI security research for the CrowdStrike blog covering tool poisoning, agentic tool-chain attacks, and AI data leakage.
  • Speaking at Fal.Con Gov 2026 in Washington DC, March 17–18, on Falcon AI Detection & Response and stopping prompt injection.

Developer Advocate → Product Marketing Manager

Joined Pangea as a Developer Advocate, then moved into Product Marketing as the company scaled up to the CrowdStrike acquisition. Owned the developer-facing story for Pangea's AI security platform throughout.

  • Drove the "Secure by Design" narrative: that security must shift left into the developer's first design decisions, not get bolted on at review time.
  • Spoke at DeveloperWeek 2024 ("The New Developer Dance") and guested on the PodRocket podcast from LogRocket.
  • Produced video content end-to-end: Pangea Redact full walkthrough, the GitHub Copilot Extension launch, and the "Pangean Comedians" series.
  • Transitioned into Product Marketing as Pangea scaled, sharpening positioning and developer narratives that carried into the CrowdStrike chapter.

IoT Developer Community Program Manager

  • Leveraged key semiconductor partners using the Azure IoT portfolio to deliver joint workshops and videos with 3,000+ views, generating co-marketing flywheels.
  • Outlined, guided, and interviewed product owners about their upcoming announcements on the IoT Show, then edited the footage to tell each story crisply.
  • Made IoT accessible to K-12+ by building free, low-risk content that lowered the barrier to first projects.

Mentorship Program Owner Concurrent

  • Volunteered to develop a pilot mentorship program for a team of 120 people after annual feedback indicated newer members needed stronger ties to attain expertise.
  • Created guiding principles to optimize match quality between mentors and mentees, then scaled the program to 600 people.
  • Wrote a reusable template that allowed the program to be scaled to 3,000, and kept iterating on it.

Program Manager · Azure IoT

  • Designed, developed, and launched support for Azure Maps capabilities in IoT Central, built through customer-led feedback and a partnership with the Azure Maps team.
  • Researched and built the roadmap for geo-location capabilities in IoT Central; shipped a successful V1 that unblocked immediate customer needs.
  • Collected customer feedback through workshops to refine IoT Central's UX and onboarding, feedback that drove prioritization of the location work she was leading.
  • Redesigned the rules experience to address customer pain points and unify it with the rest of the site, opening visual space for more complex use cases.
  • Led an investigative partnership with Azure FarmBeats to integrate with IoT Central for a better end-to-end story for agricultural clients.

Software Engineer

  • Led, developed, and shipped the Skype for Mixed Reality experience (including the "see-what-I-see" scenario and virtual reality contact cards) as a three-person team with a designer and a PM.
  • Identified and resolved accessibility issues in the Azure IoT Central web app, taking it from a grade F rating to a launchable grade C.
  • Implemented monitoring of internal Azure resource allocation, helping developers ensure customer app demand could be met.
  • Packaged the IoT Central app for the Azure marketplace, creating an entry point for customers from the Azure Portal.
