What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in an Agile environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.

I am a results-driven Certified Scrum Master and Business Analyst with over 7 years of experience in Agile environments and software development. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of empowering cross-functional teams, enhancing operational efficiency, and driving projects to successful completion. With an MBA in Business Management and certifications in web development and digital marketing, I bring valuable insights that help achieve critical company objectives through performance-oriented deliveries.

At Verizon, I facilitated Scrum ceremonies for multiple Agile teams, improving sprint velocity by 12% and reducing cycle time by 8%. My coaching and mentoring efforts have empowered teams to embrace Agile principles, resulting in a collaborative and high-performing environment. I have successfully resolved 80% of team impediments within 24 hours, ensuring a consistent workflow and timely project delivery. My experience at Aspire Systems as a Scrum Master and Product Owner further honed my skills in translating complex business requirements into actionable user stories, leading to significant improvements in product delivery timelines.
