From education research in Lima to building 0-to-1 AI products in the US. Here's how I got here.
Experience

Product Manager, WGU Labs

Sep 2022 to Present | Remote

Took a stalled AI Entrepreneurship Portfolio to market validation, evidence-based pivot, and live build. Designed a four-phase innovation framework (Sense → Shape → Test → Scale) to structure my own work, applied it honestly, and course-corrected when it showed I'd over-invested in research. Designed the business model and go-to-market strategy. Built an operating model on Claude Code to run the full product cycle solo. Facilitated a cross-functional AI upskilling workshop. Previously held Lead and Senior Learning Experience Designer roles at WGU Labs (2021 to 2022).
