What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 20 years of experience as an IT Technical Project Analyst, I specialize in corporate IT transformation. My expertise lies in collaborating with business leadership to define requirements, develop Statements of Work (SOWs), and create user stories. I have a proven track record of successfully managing projects across various regions, including the US, Latin America, and Asia.

Currently, I serve as a Business Analyst III at J.R. Simplot, where I lead requirements elicitation and project coordination for global enterprise initiatives. My role involves implementing IT systems for new factories and managing transitions for acquired facilities. I am adept at utilizing Azure DevOps for project tracking and user acceptance testing, ensuring that projects meet their objectives effectively.

Throughout my career, I have received numerous accolades for my contributions, including over twenty-five customer appreciation awards during my tenure at Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. My strong communication skills and ability to bridge the gap between business and IT have been instrumental in driving successful project outcomes.
