What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead cross-functional operations and enterprise technology initiatives, use AI to automate research and documentation, and partner with stakeholders to streamline workflows and improve operational efficiency.

I’m a Project Management and AI-enabled Operations professional with over 8 years of experience leading cross-functional projects, business operations, enterprise technology initiatives, and stakeholder engagement. I’m known for turning complex work into clear plans through strong documentation, research, and workflow optimization.

I excel at process improvement and knowledge management—building repeatable ways of working, streamlining project execution, and strengthening digital collaboration. I also bring practical CRM administration experience to support day-to-day operational effectiveness.

In my work, I actively use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM, and other AI tools to automate research, summarize complex information, improve documentation, streamline project execution, and enhance operational efficiency. As an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, I combine analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills to help teams deliver outcomes.
