What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my project management, stakeholder engagement, and structured problem-solving experience to strategy or economic development work with meaningful, measurable outcomes.

At Porter Development Initiative, I lead economic development work as a functional Project Manager, coordinating international consultants, stakeholder interviews, and strategic priorities for a U.S. state’s development strategy. I also managed outreach that converted into a signed $385K engagement.

Previously, I supported Panama’s National Solid Waste Management Plan at ECS Consultores and led consulting project portfolios at Consultandes. I bring business and civil engineering training, PMBOK-based project planning, and a track record of winning strategy case competitions.
