This role reports to Shelby Bowden, Customer Success Lead - North America

With a unique background spanning law and customer success, I’ve built my career on understanding complex client needs and scaling enterprise teams for growth. My legal foundation provided me with sharp analytical skills and attention to detail that proved invaluable as I transitioned into customer success leadership. 

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on building and developing high-performing teams that drive exceptional customer outcomes. My experience in both legal and technology sectors has given me a distinctive perspective on problem solving and relationship management at scale. 

I was drawn to Auror’s impressive growth trajectory, vibrant culture, and commitment to whole-person development. This role aligns with my passion for building meaningful partnerships and driving organizational success. 

Outside the office, I maintain an active lifestyle centered around quality time with my son and friends. You’ll often find me at a Pilates class, planning my next travel adventure, or enjoying live music. This balance of professional drive and personal fulfillment keeps me energized and inspired.
