What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Project/Program Manager role in defense or government environments where I can own schedules, budgets, compliance, and cross-functional coordination, while using data analysis and stakeholder communication to improve program outcomes.

I’m an organized, proactive program and project professional coordinating complex efforts across defense and government settings. I combine logistics, budgets, and timeline discipline with clear stakeholder communication and senior-leadership reporting to keep programs moving.

In my current Project Manager role, I manage 154+ active projects across the U.S. and Canada, oversee scheduling with 80+ date changes monthly, and coordinate directly between clients and subcontractors for on-site readiness. I also conduct quarterly-style site visits, verify technical field work through documentation, and support contract, invoice, and risk management to protect schedule and margin.

Previously as a Program Manager and Program Analyst, I supported cost, schedule, and funding planning and handled contract modifications and authorization-to-proceed steps. I also worked in workforce development and mission support, producing high-grade requests and memos, supporting leadership with shipyard analysis, and contributing to program and charter updates.

Across earlier roles in training, emergency management, recruiting, and program support, I’ve delivered compliance-focused operations, built and managed onboarding and records workflows, and maintained accurate systems for audits (including ATS/HRIS). I bring a “no surprises” approach: align teams early, document decisions, and use feedback and data—like VoC insights—to drive continuous improvement.
