She helped launch UGC startup Ranker.com in 2008, where she served as the Product Manager and Project Manager, as well as occasionally wearing SEO, SMM, DBA and various other acronym-friendly hats. In 2011, she took a brief break from the startup scene, joining the product team at Cooking.com, where she worked on mobile and desktop sites for clients like Epicurious and Food Network. She has also worked as a freelance UX, SEO and SMM consultant for various small companies and startups, and is a regular contributor to sites like Mashable, Lalawag and Levo League. She served as the Media Director for Girls in Tech LA, and is also a member of Women 2.0. When she's not working, she enjoys reading, exercising (yes, really), adventuring with friends and dominating at Scrabble.
