by a searcher from University of California, Los Angeles - UCLA Anderson School of Management in Los Angeles, CA, USA

I’m new to Search. Currently, finishing up my MBA at UCLA Anderson, graduating in June. As a prospective searcher, I’ve spent the last few months consuming the standard literature, videos and podcasts. This site has been a fantastic tool early on to ascertain best practices. Excited to be here and contribute where possible. My background is in technology consulting and operations management. I’m happy to help with any of the following: CX (customer experience), journey mapping, IAM (identity & access mgmt), martech platforms, Agile (SAFe), data capture and insights. I have 10+ years’ experience in these fields across financial services, biotech, oem (auto), and govt contracting.

I’m located in Los Angeles (Playa Del Rey). Interested in meeting and collaborating with other searchers, investors, intermediaries – both in and outside of the LA area. Much of my network resides on the east coast. I am originally from Pennsylvania and lived a number of years in the DMV.

Looking forward to being part of this community and hopefully one day soon return to the days of meeting in person!
