About

I am a PMP-certified Project Manager supporting government data and analytics programs, with a background that blends technical delivery and program leadership. I lead cross-functional teams, serve as a customer-facing decision maker, and own delivery execution, reporting, and stakeholder communication. I bring working knowledge of SQL, Python, and analytics platforms, which allows me to effectively oversee technical work and translate complex efforts into clear outcomes. I’m comfortable operating in Agile and hybrid environments and supporting regulated government programs where clarity, accountability, and trust matter.
