What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead cross-functional IT programs end-to-end—planning, Agile delivery, and budget oversight—while driving process improvement, stakeholder alignment, and measurable business outcomes through continuous improvement and strong execution.

I’m a results-driven Project Manager with over 18 years of experience in Information Technology, including 5+ years in project management. I lead cross-functional teams, overseeing complex initiatives, and aligning program strategies with business goals to drive measurable outcomes.

In my current role as Finance Program Manager, I lead strategic initiatives across departments from planning through implementation. I enhance revenue integrity, increase first-pass yield rates, manage adherence to budgets and timelines, and streamline operational workflows to improve overall project delivery.

Previously, I served as Program Manager – Software Development at Bitwise Industries, directing a portfolio of software development programs and ensuring alignment with client needs and organizational goals. I led a team of 14, defined objectives and schedules, maintained program budgets, and strengthened client relationships to secure repeat engagements.

Earlier in my career at Tulare County, I held roles of increasing responsibility in IT, including Staff Analyst III and Business Analyst II. I led healthcare IT initiatives such as Electronic Health Records (EHR)—boosting performance and user adoption—and delivered outcomes like a 76% increase in patient engagement, along with budgets over $3M and 100% on-time delivery.
