Helping teams stay aligned and moving forward — with a people-first approach. One of my mother’s favorite stories to tell is when I wandered off at a Burger King as a kid — not because I was mischievous, but because I wanted to sit with a man eating alone. “He looked like he could use a friend,” I told her. That instinct to connect, support, and help others has never left me. Today, I bring that same mindset to project management. I’m a PMP certified project manager with a background in marketing, healthcare, and technology. Known for being highly organized, communicative, and resourceful, I support teams by acting as the steady hand behind the scenes — ensuring deadlines are met and projects run smoothly. Whether it’s launching a campaign, producing content, or rolling out a new initiative, I thrive in the space between idea and execution — bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to each and every project. Outside of work, I’m usually working out, experimenting in the kitchen, or listening to music. Adventurous, open-minded, and ever-curious, I’m always keen to make new connections and expand my network. If you think we could help one another or learn from each other, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
