About
With a robust background in organizational management and a current pursuit of an MBA with a focus on marketing, I have developed a strong foundation in agile methodologies and project management. My professional journey began as a Business Analyst at Wells Fargo, where I honed my skills in risk and compliance within commercial banking. I then transitioned to a Project Manager role at Washington County, Minnesota, overseeing construction projects and stakeholder communications. My expertise in Scrum methodologies was further solidified through roles at TCF Bank, Boston Scientific, and currently at NMDP, where I serve as a Scrum Master for application development teams. My experience includes leading agile ceremonies, facilitating team collaboration, and implementing process improvements. I am passionate about driving team efficiency and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
