Summary

Enthusiastic, creative and dynamic Master Scheduler, Planner, Project Manager and Coordinator with great communication skills that is eager

to contribute positively to the growth of the company focused in revenue and product longevity. Excellent communication skills (Written &

Verbal), and has the ability to quickly earn the trust of Key Stakeholders. As a Master Project Scheduler I have accumulated massive experience

in Microsoft Project (2007, 2010 & 2013) during the span of seven years. My expertise lies in management and execution of planning and

development of the integrated master schedule, in support of major projects and programs across the portfolio. As a coordinator I worked

with cross functional organization to ensure the execution system is in alignment with the organizational processes and goals through the

tactical management of the integrated master schedule. As a scheduler I monitor, analyze, and provide direction on the general health, risks,

and progress of the schedule. I also corresponded with management to advice the status of work in progress, critical need by and delivery

dates, and potential production problems to ensure that, equipment, materials, services and personnel are provided as needed. As the Senior

Master Scheduler I oversee and managed portfolio and program level schedules, building detailed schedules from inception to completion.

Included but not limited to the development of schedule mitigation strategies, reporting on schedule issues and critical tasks to management,

analyzing schedule sensitivity and risk (Monte Carlo Analysis), alerting on issues and recommending solution for schedules issues and high risk

areas. Also prepared milestone charts and reports (Milestone Pro), interfaces with multiple groups to collect key schedule data, provide training

and process documentation support.
