About

With a Bachelor's degree in Educational/Instructional Technology from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, I have built a robust career in project management and training development. Currently, I serve as a Project Manager at GP Strategies Corporation, where I oversee project development and implementation, ensuring alignment with client and company expectations. Previously, I managed projects at ICONMA for Google, where I developed action plans, coordinated cross-functional partnerships, and drove process standardization. At Ford Motor Company, I led training and development initiatives, collaborating with business leaders to address organizational training needs. My experience also includes project management at Roush Industries, where I optimized testing processes, and an HR Assistant role at Comerica Bank, supporting HR directors and consultants. My diverse experience across industries has honed my skills in project management, training development, and stakeholder collaboration.
