I believe successful project management exists only within a strong framework of shared understanding, clear communication, and an incremental gains mindset. A team can only operate effectively when each member’s unique skillset and personality are understood and well-utilized. With insightful strategic planning, careful road mapping, shared understanding within the team, and efficient communication and relationship with stakeholders, I believe a project’s success and completion grow much closer to being just a measurable and manipulatable function of its many pieces.

I have been leading highly technical, cross-functional teams in the tech industry for nearly 8 years, and leading teams in general for more than 15 years. I am highly skilled at communicating clearly and effectively to generate shared understanding of advanced technical topics within a diverse team, and I have a proven track record of championing projects from initiation to completion.
