What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic leadership and agile practices, fostering team collaboration and continuous improvement.

I am a results-oriented Senior Project Manager with four years of progressive experience leading cross-functional teams and delivering high-impact software and process improvement projects. My proven track record in agile methodologies, remote team management, and organizational efficiency has equipped me with the skills necessary to drive project success. I am adept at leveraging tools like Jira and Confluence to enhance transparency and sprint velocity, ensuring that teams remain aligned and focused on their goals.

At Rocket Lawyer, I led multiple concurrent agile software projects, facilitating all agile ceremonies for high-performing remote teams. My efforts improved sprint velocity by 10% through effective coaching and workflow refinement. I take pride in my ability to produce detailed progress reports, manage project risks, and maintain clear communication with stakeholders, ensuring that everyone is informed and engaged throughout the project lifecycle.

With a strong background in process optimization and a commitment to continuous improvement, I am passionate about bringing strategic leadership and agile facilitation to my next Project Manager role. I thrive in environments that value collaboration and innovation, and I am eager to contribute my expertise to drive organizational success.
