## About

```text
At Dow Chemical, I plan and manage capital projects from initiation to closeout, aligning delivery with client objectives and business priorities. Structured daily updates and early issue escalation improved on-time completion by 18%.

I previously led a $180M capital program at Husky Energy, completing nine major projects. Clearer scope definition and change control reduced change orders by 26%, and I recovered 11% schedule slippage on delayed projects.

Across energy, chemical, utilities, and public-sector work, I’ve coordinated remote international teams and managed scope, schedules, budgets, risks, and reporting. I’m PMP-trained and hold a Cornell Project Management Certificate.
