I pride myself on my people-first leadership style, which has been reflected in high engagement scores and improved team morale.
In addition to my project management expertise, I have a solid foundation in finance and operations, having served in senior roles at PNC Financial Services Group and Cadilus. My diverse experience allows me to approach challenges with a holistic perspective, driving efficiencies and fostering innovation. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to strategic initiatives that enhance organizational success.
