What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging remote project management role that leverages my skills and experience to drive business growth and improve operations.

As a seasoned project manager, I have a proven track record of successfully managing complex transitions of business processes, applications, interfaces, and technology systems to streamline operations. With a particular aptitude for remote work, I excel in coordinating multiple workstreams and providing project and issue updates to leadership in a matrixed environment.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to lead virtual teams and meetings, implement process analysis, and develop project management tools for risk and issue tracking. My strong organizational skills and proactive approach have enabled me to deliver high-quality results and present to senior leadership with confidence.

I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and have a strong proficiency in Microsoft Office software, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Project, and Outlook.
