What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead program and event delivery, improve operational processes, support cross-functional teams, and grow into broader operational leadership.

I am a hands-on program manager with broad experience supporting large-scale transformation, events, and executive operations within corporate real estate and facilities partnerships.

I have led summit and event planning, team coordination, hiring support, budgeting, and onboarding across remote, cross-functional organizations, ensuring structure and reliable execution.

Previously I managed stores and office operations, driving sales growth, recruiting and developing teams, handling payroll, accounting, and customer-facing events.

I bring a pragmatic, organized approach to program delivery, an ability to step into multiple projects as needed, and a track record of improving processes and team effectiveness.
