Open to growth marketing & marketing ops roles

I built the products. Now I want to grow yours.

A psychology grad who taught herself to build real, shipped software — then taught herself to market it. Three products, one person, no dev team and no growth team but me.

The long version

How a psych degree ended up here

Personnel file

I didn't come from marketing or engineering. I came from psychology and years working in schools and with families. What changed things was running Lani's Hawaiian Shave Ice — a seasonal business where I handle POS systems, scheduling, hiring, and finance, and genuinely love the problem-solving of it.

Nights and weekends, I started building — first for my own tutoring business, then for anyone who'd benefit. I taught myself the stack along the way. The marketing side never felt separate from the building — it's the same read on people, just aimed at a landing page instead of a lesson plan.
