About

I’m a cross-functional program manager with over a decade of experience driving results across HR, engineering, and product organizations. I bring a rare blend of technical fluency and talent strategy expertise to every initiative I lead -- a foundation in Engineering (Chemical by study, Automation by trade), certifications in PMP and Lean Six Sigma, and experience leading enterprise-scale talent programs. At the heart of it, I care about creating practical, scalable solutions that help people thrive and make organizations stronger. I’m currently open to senior roles in HR strategy, program leadership, or technical program management—especially where I can build bridges between people and technology!
