Project manager with engineering background driving funding, process improvement, and cross-functional delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented project management professional with a foundation in petroleum engineering and experience supporting U.S.-based remote teams. I drive funding research, workflow optimization, and stakeholder management to improve decision turnaround and project delivery.
In my roles I expanded an innovation funding pipeline by 30%, led a team of interns to raise on-time task completion from 70% to 95%, and reduced project deliverable timelines by 25% through streamlined documentation and clearer workflows. I have coordinated cross-functional updates, supported legal and product teams with compliance reports, and improved communication across distributed teams.
I also bring hands-on delivery experience in residential interior projects, achieving 95% client satisfaction, improving design approval rates by 30%, and optimizing material sourcing to reduce costs without sacrificing quality. I seek to apply structured problem-solving, team leadership, and process improvement to mission-driven projects.
