Accomplishments

    Starting as an assistant program manager with no knowledge in the industry or corporate world. I've worked to create a career as a Senior PM and team lead by always looking for continuous improvement for myself in goals and processes. Along with sharing those improvements with other employees, which has in turn improved our company.

    I've found that the key to all in business and life, is valued communication and collaboration. I feel that knowing and implementing this into my day to day, has been a huge factor in my success to date.

Equestrian

I have a huge passion for horses, I own two horses and they keep me level. It's my release from a hard days work to go ride around to let go of the stress that comes with life. I also compete in cattle sorting events once or twice a year.
