Fearless Sr Project Manager with passion for leadership | Unwavering commitment to results within global, cross-functional organizations With every project, whether through documentation, time and cost-saving initiatives, or risk management, my goal is to transform my team into a well-oiled machine. I have taken the worst-performing team in an organization and moved them to the top. My tenacious focus on process and results has earned me recognition for exceeding benchmarks and piloting efficient, sustainable procedures for optimal outcomes.

Whether leading employee training programs or presenting at conferences, there’s nothing more satisfying than bringing out the best in others to help the organization boost profits, save time, and run more efficiently. I build strong relationships with teams, managers, and stakeholders – they appreciate that I’m very upfront with them, but they know I like to have fun, too. As a result, they welcome the chance to work with me again. Because project management is in my DNA, ongoing professional development is a priority. I earned PMP and PMI-ACP certification, an MBA, and a Six Sigma Green Belt while working full-time.
