Message

At Wallin Disaster Management / Fluor / FEMA, I directed PMO governance and delivery for a $5.45B federally funded recovery portfolio, supporting residential, infrastructure, mitigation, and natural resource recovery initiatives. I built and implemented a program-wide mentorship, coaching, and quality improvement framework that strengthened staff capability and reduced claim rejection rates by approximately 30%.

Previously, I managed planning, cost validation, and funding support for more than 2,400 federally funded recovery projects nationwide. My experience also includes emergency management and disaster recovery programs at California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), infrastructure and HVAC/R operations at UL LLC, and service department operations at Pacific Mechanical Services.
