A multifaceted professional with more than 20 years’ experience in the IT, Business and Higher Education spaces, I am a results-oriented project manager committed to delivering quality products within time and resource constraints. From development through implementation, I can facilitate strategic initiatives while managing both internal and external client expectations.
Possessing a strong work ethic with the adaptability to achieve in any role, I am a thoughtful leader with a collaborative mindset who encourages growth and inspiration within a team environment. Challenges fuel ingenuity and creativity and this unique skill set, marrying the analytical with the innovative, allows delivery of solutions that are achievable and highly marketable.
With broad experience across different sectors, I am capable of being the voice of both IT and business on behalf of a client. One of my best strengths lies in the ability to foster strong relationships with key stakeholders, developing a deep understanding of their needs, goals and constraints, delivering value-add programs and products to their enterprise. I have a strong ability to prioritize projects and activities to ensure appropriate allocation and management of resources and product delivery.
