What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior project management role in a collaborative, tech-forward organization where I can lead compliance and app deployments, manage cross-functional teams, streamline processes, and drive strategic, measurable outcomes.

I am a results-driven project manager with a track record leading high-impact tech and compliance initiatives, including a legislative Data Destruction project that removed over five years of talent information and the end-to-end delivery of an app used by more than 10,000 users. I manage cross-functional teams, pilots, and hypercare phases while keeping projects on schedule, within scope, and on budget.

I bring strong strategic planning and stakeholder management experience from coordinating national programs, building institutional partnerships, and driving government relations and reporting efforts that delivered over 1,500 placement applications. I hold PMP and Prosci ADKAR credentials and focus on process improvement, risk mitigation, and collaborative problem solving to help organizations achieve measurable outcomes.
