What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

I am a seasoned Senior Project Manager with deep expertise in Agile methodologies and product management. Over the years, I have successfully led cross-functional teams to deliver and enhance digital products, with a particular focus on the healthcare sector. At Oddball, I played a pivotal role in collaborating with stakeholders to drive improvements in the VA Flagship Mobile Business Administration App, ensuring it meets user needs with precision and efficiency.

My career is marked by a strong commitment to quality, organization, and clear communication. I’ve standardized Product Management practices and streamlined workflows, significantly boosting team efficiency. From managing complex projects at the Agency of Digital Services in Vermont to leading product teams at Ad Hoc, LLC, I have consistently implemented processes that encourage continuous improvement and foster innovation.

Holding a Master's in Business Administration along with certifications as a Scrum Master and SAFe Product Owner, I am passionate about delivering successful outcomes and enhancing team collaboration. I thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments and am dedicated to leveraging my skills to drive impactful results.
