About

Experienced project manager with a passion for converting strategic business objectives to value realized results. With a background in C-Suite executive administration and strategic sourcing, I've helped establish business processes, develop change management initiatives and bring technical visions to life, all while optimizing financial savings in an effort to exceed organizational goals. When I'm not working, you can find me exploring new cities, enjoying miles on a run or cheering on my favorite sports teams.
