As a Project Management Professional (PMP) at General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), I delivered cloud and IT risk-based solutions to various technical issues for the United States Pentagon and other clients. I managed multiple projects of medium to large size and complexity, adopting the Agile/Scrum framework and ensuring alignment with business processes and regulatory requirements. I also received praise from senior leadership and stakeholders for my performance and communication skills.
Currently, I am pursuing my MBA at Clark Atlanta University, with a focus on Entrepreneurship and Innovation. I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from Troy University and multiple certifications in Acquisitions, Logistics, and Systems Management from the Defense Acquisition University. I have also become PMP-certified by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and obtained a “Secret” Security Clearance from the United States Air Force. My goal is to leverage my Project Management, Program Management, IT audit, IT compliance, Risk Management, Cloud Technologies, and IT security skills to create value and impact for organizations in the IT or Energy Industry.
