I lead complex DoD programs, turning strategic requirements into coordinated execution, cost savings, and operational readiness.

Message

I'm currently coordinating 117 projects at NISGA’A TEK, aligning plans, schedules, dependencies, resources, risks, and deliverables across a complex program environment. I helped bring a 20+ year project backlog current and identified obsolete work for removal, contributing approximately $80 million in cost savings.

Across Tactical Edge, Corps Solutions, and MARSTEL-DAY, I've supported mission-critical DoD operations, training systems, modernization, procurement, and large-scale military initiatives. My work has included coordinating 30+ military units, $6 million in annual procurement, $6.5 million in modernization efforts, and a $64 million land expansion initiative.

I turn complex stakeholder, operational, and technical requirements into executable plans, governance, reporting, and measurable improvements. I bring hands-on experience in program operations, risk management, resource coordination, continuous improvement, and executive-ready decision support.
