About

I came across a quote a few years ago that completely changed my outlook on life, Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. Since then, I have made it my mission to always find the best in every situation, even when it seemed impossible at times. Embracing this philosophy has not only improved my personal relationships and mindset but helped me in my professional line of work. As a Project Manager with five-plus years of experience managing cross-functional initiatives and technical projects for the City of Greenville Police Department, I understand the importance of creating a culture of continual improvement. Known for my insane commitment to excellence, I thrive in team leadership roles where I possess the freedom, flexibility, and creativity to improve organizational processes. Over the last few years, I have played a key role in driving change management initiatives for the department that have fueled efficiency, cut operating costs, and improved team communication practices. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking and traveling. If you are looking for a responsive team leader who enjoys tackling new projects in a deadline-driven environment, let's connect! I am certain I can sharpen your operational programming and delivery.
