Senior IT Project Manager at The University of Utah delivering NEMSIS projects and national EMS dashboards.

At The University of Utah, I manage a portfolio of NHTSA-funded NEMSIS projects spanning software, data platforms, analytics dashboards, and research programs. I provide weekly status, risk, and decision updates to NHTSA leadership.

I led development of Tableau dashboards with the White House ONDCP and CDC, including a nonfatal overdose surveillance dashboard. As Agile Coach for the NEMSIS team, I facilitated sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and retrospectives that contributed to a 70% increase in delivery speed.

At Pinterest, I led the launch of the Moveworks AI help desk for 3,000+ employees, automating Tier-1 IT support workflows. Earlier, I delivered SQL-based field-reporting dashboards at Endeavor Energy Resources and implemented a mobile API solution at the City of Midland that saved $44K annually.
