I am a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP)® with over 5 years of experience in program management and capital projects, particularly in mission-critical environments. My career has been defined by my ability to lead cross-functional teams to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects on time and within budget. I excel in managing complex critical infrastructure projects, optimizing operational efficiency, and implementing preventive maintenance strategies.

My collaborative approach with various departments ensures seamless project integration and timely delivery of critical infrastructure projects. I am passionate about continuous process improvement, having documented lessons learned and implemented workflow updates that resulted in significant efficiency gains across regional operations.
