United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Project Director and project management professional with 9 years leading complex, multi-million-dollar initiatives across tech, public health, research, and education. I direct full project lifecycles and daily operations, translating complex operational metrics into compliance-ready reporting that keeps deliverables on time and aligned to stakeholder and federal requirements.
Most recently, I led an $8M US Department of Education grant at Michigan State University, managing scope, schedule, and compliance across a multi-state initiative and maintaining financial and contractual oversight across three sub-award sites. Previously, I managed an annual virtual national conference ($100K budget, 500+ attendees) and streamlined payment processing with two new financial protocols—reducing turnaround time by 85% for 120+ vendors. I also coordinated $4M across concurrent NIH research projects, implementing SOPs and compliance measures that reduced data entry errors, and I led product delivery for 14+ client implementations at Ivy.ai, accelerating onboarding by 50% while mentoring a team of 4 implementation specialists. I bring hands-on technical fluency with HTML, TypeScript, and SQL, paired with tools like Asana, Jira, Monday.com, Trello, and ClickUp to optimize workflows, manage vendors and contracts, and drive measurable outcomes.
