What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging project and financial leadership in compliant environments where I can drive forecast accuracy, process improvement, and measurable business outcomes.

I am a Project Manager (PMP) with over 10 years of experience delivering financial and operational projects in corporate and government-regulated environments. I specialize in budget planning, variance analysis, and applying rigorous compliance controls to ensure projects meet scope, schedule, and financial targets.

At Sandia National Laboratories I managed $10M+ multi-year budgets across concurrent projects, optimized resource allocation to keep funding execution within 2% of budget, and standardized documentation that reduced process errors by 25%. At Eaton Corporation I led efforts that cut a $20M backlog and improved customer satisfaction by 20% through improved reporting, scheduling, and stakeholder communications.

I bring hands-on expertise in MS Project, Oracle Financials, Power BI, Excel, SharePoint/Confluence, and Agile methodologies, and I focus on measurable business results—forecast accuracy, audit readiness, and strengthened vendor relationships—to drive organizational performance.
