About

With over eight years of experience in IT project management and operational optimization, I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to design scalable processes and drive efficiency across technical projects. Most recently, I served as a Solutions Project Manager at American Pacific Mortgage until November 2025, where I contributed to the creation of in-house project management tools and operational policies, enabling seamless IT transitions. My mission is to foster innovation and ensure that teams achieve their objectives with clarity and precision. At American Pacific Mortgage, I supported the establishment of an internal project management department and guided the development of custom software to enhance record-keeping and scalability. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I facilitated the execution of IT initiatives, ensuring smooth transitions from contracted services to in-house operations. My focus on streamlining workflows and implementing effective policies resulted in improved coordination and delivery of technical projects.
