Full bio

I am excited to take on the role as the West Coast Lead of AOL Ventures.  As a runner, sculptur, painter and rock climber, I've scaled new heights as a Product Manager at Google.   At the MIT Media Lab as a graduate student,  I applied the right side of my brain as a Toy Designer making toys that communicated with one another.  Hailing from the great state of Alabama, I made use of both of my feet after learning it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
