What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a 100% remote Project Manager or Technical Project Manager role focused on leading complex, cross-functional initiatives from planning through delivery. I value collaborative organizations, strong stakeholder engagement, and work-life balance. I’m open to multiple industries where my PMP, business leadership, technical background, and risk management experience can add value.

I am a PMP-certified project and technology leader with extensive experience delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives across multi-site organizations. My background combines project management, business leadership, technology, risk management, process improvement, and organizational change.

Throughout my career, I have led initiatives involving business integrations, enterprise technology implementations, cybersecurity and compliance programs, operational improvements, vendor management, and organizational transformation. I am experienced in taking projects from initial planning and requirements through execution, stakeholder coordination, risk management, implementation, and transition to operations.

I currently lead technology operations supporting approximately 900 users across 12 locations, working closely with executive leadership, business stakeholders, technical teams, and external partners. This experience has strengthened my ability to translate business objectives into executable plans, manage competing priorities, communicate across technical and non-technical audiences, and keep complex initiatives moving toward successful outcomes.

I hold a Master of Science in Management and Leadership and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, along with PMP certification. My combination of formal business education, project management discipline, and hands-on leadership experience allows me to approach projects from both strategic and execution-focused perspectives.

I am interested in remote Project Manager and Technical Project Manager opportunities where I can focus on project delivery, cross-functional leadership, stakeholder management, risk management, and business transformation.
