I found myself in tech after starting my career as a medical device engineer and entrepreneur. Through experience, I realized the part of my work I enjoyed most was working with stakeholders and driving product vision. As a strategic product professional, I can shine a light on the transition into product from engineering.
I havenβt always had mentors myself but Iβd like to help folks in product, or folks getting into product, in any way that I can :)
