Professional Summary

 

Currently, I have been managing all aspects of a $45,000,000 project where I have been successfully leveraging my extensive PMBOK knowledge and 15+ years of project management experience. As a project manager and department administrator I have been recognized for my outstanding problem solving skills, superior organizational skills, and for managing resources and budgets efficiently. I have demonstrated quality team leadership and personnel training having lead projects with 50 or more employees in a matrix organization. By effectively facilitating communication and collaboration I helped the company save $800,000 annually. I was also responsible for rescuing a complex two-year $2,500,000, multi-state project by addressing compliance issues which in turn led to the development of a new operational division that generated revenues of $750,000 at a 50% profit margin in the first six months.  I also have proven vendor management experience.
