About

Results-driven Knowledge Manager and Operations Data professional with more than a decade of experience leading information governance, metadata, and reporting initiatives that enhance efficiency and compliance across federal programs. I currently oversee knowledge operations supporting 14 active programs and directly manage three contracts totaling $5.4 million in value. My role focuses on maintaining and improving enterprise knowledge systems — including SharePoint-based program hubs and Power BI reporting tools — to ensure consistent data visibility and compliance across all programs. Earlier in my career, I led digital curation and metadata initiatives, including the migration and organization of 40,000+ digital records for a large-scale federal project. That experience strengthened my ability to connect information architecture, data governance, and program management into unified operational strategies. I’m passionate about optimizing how organizations manage, share, and apply knowledge — transforming data into a reliable asset that supports mission outcomes.
