Message

At Virginia Employment Commission, I led an IT modernization initiative to replace mission-critical components before end of life, coordinating technical teams, vendors, and stakeholders around operational needs and security vulnerabilities.

I used SharePoint and Microsoft Power BI to analyze more than 100 audit-finding records weekly and developed requirements for a Microsoft-based IT audit tracking system.

At Virginia Department of Emergency Management, I coordinated IT projects valued at more than $2 million and worked with the WebEOC application team and JUVARE to translate emergency management needs into system requirements. I also coordinated user acceptance testing and application enhancements.

At Department of Defense, I directed IT projects and led process improvement training; analysis of performance metrics identified efficiencies that saved an estimated $10 million annually. I also managed development of a division SharePoint site and supported federal contract oversight.
