United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led complex technical and operational programs at Ellucian, guiding implementation projects from initiation and planning through delivery, transition, and close.
As Professional Development Manager at Ellucian, I implemented strategic plans to improve team performance and productivity while mentoring newly hired employees in project management methodology. I also contributed to change management work, including Certinia PSA user acceptance testing, implementation training, Smartsheet project-plan templates, and project quality reviews.
At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I managed concurrent multiyear ERP, infrastructure, systems planning, procurement, and software implementation projects across agile, hybrid, and waterfall environments. I strengthened stakeholder relationships, managed budgets and risk, and improved business application and data processes across multiple campuses.
Earlier in my professional career, I led clinic business operations at Palmer College of Chiropractic, managing performance frameworks, financial reporting, product planning, and a 21-person team. I bring aviation, technology, higher education, and operational leadership experience to building scalable programs that connect employee development to measurable business outcomes.
