What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and detail-oriented project manager with a strong desire to build connections, foster teamwork, and solve complex problems. With a Master of Science in Project Management and certifications as a Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Scrum Master (CSM), I leverage my education and extensive personal network to drive successful project outcomes.
Throughout my career, I have managed significant projects, including the $300 million Jackson County Detention Center and the historic renovation of Springfield City Hall. My experience spans various roles, from project engineer to project manager, where I have honed my skills in contract negotiation, budget management, and stakeholder communication. I am passionate about ensuring client satisfaction and delivering projects on time and within budget.
In addition to my professional achievements, I actively engage in community service through organizations like North Point Church and the Springfield Dream Center, where I contribute to initiatives that support individuals and families in need. I believe in the power of collaboration and strive to make a positive impact both in my career and in my community.
