What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Senior Business Analyst and Certified Scrum Master with extensive experience delivering solutions across government, insurance, and healthcare sectors. I specialize in interpreting business needs, eliciting and refining requirements, developing user stories with acceptance criteria, and producing clear documentation and process flows.
I have led backlog refinement, release planning, and sprint ceremonies, acted as sole business analyst on multiple initiatives, and collaborated closely with product owners, developers, QA, and vendors to troubleshoot defects and ensure successful UAT. I strengthened UI/UX skills by producing 508-compliant mock-ups and created large-scale deliverables, including a 1400+ page user manual.
I seek to apply my SDLC and Agile expertise to help teams achieve long-term project objectives through clear requirements, effective stakeholder communication, and disciplined delivery practices.
