What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in project management, process improvement, and change management to drive business growth and success.

In my career I have built a strong reputation as a results-driven Senior Project Manager, specializing in process optimization, change management, and technology transformation. I have successfully led cross-functional teams to deliver complex projects within the banking, healthcare, and technology sectors, always exceeding client expectations. My experience includes implementing AI-driven solutions, enhancing data governance, and managing enterprise-wide transformations.

I am particularly skilled in utilizing Agile and Six Sigma methodologies to streamline processes and deliver successful projects on time and within budget. My work at EmpowerAI Consulting, where I drive the adoption of AI tools, further highlights my ability to lead technical projects while maintaining a clear focus on strategic outcomes. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create impactful solutions that improve organizational efficiency and sustainability.

Beyond my professional achievements, I am deeply interested in integrating wellness and technology, particularly in how AI can be used to enhance health outcomes and provide data-driven solutions for chronic disease management. This personal interest is informed by my health journey and advocating for food as medicine, which has shaped my unique perspective on combining technology and wellness.

My goal is to continue helping organizations navigate the evolving digital landscape while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those around me.
