Message

At PODS ENTERPRISES, LLC, I led enterprise initiatives across data and analytics, integrations, and enterprise applications from planning through production deployment. I coordinated cross-functional teams and managed project plans, risks, dependencies, and delivery commitments.

At FOX, I managed data and analytics initiatives supporting data platforms, reporting, business intelligence, and enterprise data capabilities. I worked with business stakeholders and data teams to define requirements and delivery plans, then managed projects through testing and production readiness.

Earlier, I managed client-facing projects at SOFTWARE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS and supported enterprise and business initiatives at AT&T and OPTEUM. My professional development includes independent learning and coursework in Generative AI, Agentic AI, AI-Enabled Workflows, and Workflow Automation.
