With a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and an Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) designation, I bring a robust foundation in project management methodologies to my role. Since 2023, I have been a Project Manager at a prominent manufacturing company in Cincinnati. I successfully led the implementation of a CRM system, boosting sales efficiency by 25% within a year.
Previously, as a Team Lead at a local startup, I spearheaded the development of a new medical device prototype, achieving project completion 10% under budget and ahead of schedule. My commitment to excellence has also led me to share my insights as a speaker at the Queen City Project Management Conference 2024, where I discussed “Optimizing Project Efficiency Through Agile Methodologies.”
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am actively involved in my community. As the President of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI), I foster leadership and collaboration within the project management community. Additionally, I volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati. I have led teams to construct affordable housing units, completing projects on schedule.
My dedication to my field was recognized with the “Rising Star” Award by the Cincinnati Business Journal in 2023. I am also proficient in Spanish. I have challenged myself with adventurous pursuits, including a mountaineering expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021.
