What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote opportunities that allow me to leverage my project management expertise and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP®) with over a decade of experience in project control and scheduling across various sectors, including construction, energy, and infrastructure. My expertise lies in developing cost-effective schedules and performing critical path analyses, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget. I am proficient in using Primavera P6 and MS Project, which I leverage to enhance project delivery and optimize resource management.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed and coordinated multiple high-value projects, including the construction of substations and civil engineering projects. My role as a Project Controls Scheduler at Exelon Corporation involved developing comprehensive project schedules and monitoring progress through earned value indicators. I have a proven track record of securing financial compensation for contractors and effectively managing project risks, which has significantly contributed to the success of the projects I have been involved in.

As a strong advocate for leadership and training, I enjoy coaching project teams on scheduling tools and best practices. I am currently seeking global opportunities, whether remote or on-site, where I can apply my skills and experience to drive project success and contribute to organizational growth.
