What I'm looking for

I want to lead end-to-end projects where I can apply Agile workflows, manage risks and stakeholders, and improve operational efficiency—delivering measurable results in fast-paced teams across tech, media, and education.

I’m a Project Manager and Operations Manager with 6+ years of experience leading end-to-end project delivery across education, media, technology, and development, with a focus on predictable execution and measurable outcomes. I build Agile workflows, manage cross-functional teams, and drive initiatives on time and within budget.

At Griot Studios, I introduced sprint planning and Jira-based project tracking for game development projects, increasing delivery predictability and reducing status-reporting time by an estimated 30%. I’ve managed full project lifecycles for film productions, documentaries, promotional campaigns, and game development—coordinating budgets, contracts, and schedules—while leading cross-functional teams of up to 15.

Previously at Stella Maris Schools and Bitmama Exchange Inc., I led product and operations work, including the product development and launch of My Star (an EdTech school management app), and standardized project management workflows using Jira, Asana, and Confluence. I also coordinated logistics for 400+ attendees at ALitFest20, redesigning scheduling workflows to reduce conflicts by 70%.
