What I'm looking for

I'm eager to leverage my project management expertise to drive innovation and improve operational efficiency, and to connect with professionals committed to excellence in project execution.

At Tetra Pak, I manage filtration projects from sales handoff through startup, coordinating design, procurement, installation, commissioning, and closeout. I develop plans for concurrent customer projects and track cost-to-complete, protecting margins by 5–7% above forecast.

Previously, at Intellect, I tailored demonstrations and produced tutorial videos that contributed to a 32% increase in deal closures. At TSI Incorporated, I supported product launches and standardized manufacturing processes, reducing assembly time and production errors by an estimated 15–20%.
