About

As a PMP-certified Project Manager with over 10 years of work experience across healthcare, marketing, and education, I bring the capacity to produce solutions through organization and effective communication. I have previously partnered with C-suite leaders and Boards of Directors to translate business goals into clear narratives and actionable development strategies, managing projects through their full life-cycle. I am a servant leader at heart, focused on creating environments where people can do their best work. Whether developing leadership programs or supporting enterprise-wide initiatives, my goal is to create clarity, foster alignment, and elevate both the employee and customer experience. I’m particularly drawn to organizations that value confidant leadership, open communication, and promoting employee happiness and growth.
