What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in Agile environments.

I am a transformative and highly agile professional with extensive experience in product and project management, change management, and risk consulting. My career has been dedicated to leveraging interdisciplinary skills to achieve diverse organizational goals and milestones. I excel in providing consulting, coaching, and training on Agile practices, and I am passionate about fostering a deep understanding of Agile mindsets within organizations.

Currently, I serve as a Product Owner at the State of Iowa's Health and Human Services, where I assist in replacing the disease surveillance system. My role involves collaborating with stakeholders to define user stories and ensuring that project requirements are met. Previously, I held positions at Principal Financial Group, where I led product management initiatives and managed cross-functional teams to deliver successful outcomes. My ability to communicate effectively with senior leaders and my expertise in risk consulting have been instrumental in driving project success and aligning business goals with technology solutions.
