Sr Project Manager@Northern Virginia Communuty College
Verified
Education is the foundation of professional competence. I have my Ph.D. in Management, my Masters in Information Systems, and my Bachelors in Business Administration. I have my PMP certification and over 15 years of experience in Program and Project Management for projects with budgets over $8M. I have managed 15-30 projects simultaneously using Waterfall, Agile, and scrum. I lead teams through strategic planning and approaches for improving efficiency via cloud computing. I have been the single point of contact between business stakeholders and technical resources, managing expectations and ensuring that IT solutions are delivering the required services and solutions within the projects timeline.
I love to apply gap analysis to projects, aligning a strategy that will improve efficiency. But I am more than just a resume - I am a curious soul who naturally looks at situations and wants to know the process behind them, assessing and escalating risks as needed. I am a relatable communicator who is confident enough to present to C-level executives while also breaking down task lists to minute details for developers. I am highly organized and known as the "follow-up queen," where things do not slip on my watch. I love working with others to accomplish the same goal - project success!
If I have piqued your interest, let's chat via Skype or Zoom! I am available to begin almost immediately. I am flexible to work within your time zone. Shoot me an email and let me know when you are available to discuss the project further. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
