What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my leadership skills in a dynamic environment.

In my current role, I have been a program (operations) and project manager for 10+ years. Prior to my current work, I was biomedical scientist running research projects. I have 15+ years experience with data analysis, technical writing [publications], overseeing projects, managing facility operations and leading cross-functional teams aimed at completing operational efficiency initiatives. I have four college degrees, from my Associate in the Arts [general studies] up to my doctorate degree, with emphasis on immunology. Prior to my education and current career, I was active duty in the U.S. Army from ‘99 to ‘03, including a combat deployment. I was the recipient of multiple awards/medals, including one for lifesaving efforts.

I am seeking an engaging and challenging part-time remote position whereby my skills and experience can be of benefit to a company that drives positive change.
