As the first person in a newly crafted role, I worked to engage and grow the businesses and restaurants that support the "the most important documentary festival in America" through in-kind trade.

In one year, I worked with nearly 70 sponsors (40% of whom were first-timers to the fest) and contracted over $150k in trade.

We made significant steps forward in organization and technology (thanks, Airtable and Coda), and set the festival up for continued growth in non-cash sponsorship.

As the Product Manager for two development teams, we completely rebuilt our company's internal task management strategy. I designed the UX (using Sketch, then Figma), worked with product owners to define the features and scope, and led the rollout to our 1,000+ operations and sales employees.

As of 2021, our task management system is at the center of the mortgage automation projects for the nation's largest VA home loan lender.

A huge part of the success of True/False Film Fest is their commitment to the festival as an event. I worked on a team of year-round employees that throws roughly 20 parties over the festival's four days.

I coordinated teams of volunteers and worked with local restaurants and vendors to ensure that our 10,000+ guests had a great time.

After time in training and business analytics, this was my official move into product management. Still focusing on operations employees, we needed to rebuild a few systems to better support the expected company growth.

Working with a team of five developers, we built a state-of-the-art I/O integration with Encompass that was able to immediately handle a 10x increase in volume. It was also significantly more stable, and was my first experience with a competing consumer pattern which allowed us to scale to meet the business' needs.‌
