About

Professional summary

I am a PMP-certified Project Manager with more than six years of experience leading complex, cross-departmental projects from initiation through completion. I have delivered more than 75 projects on time while managing scope, schedules, budgets, resources, and stakeholder expectations.

I specialize in project planning, risk management, cost control, vendor coordination, and process improvement. I use structured project plans, performance metrics, and reporting tools to support clear decision-making and keep teams aligned with business objectives.

In my current role at Trek Bicycle Corporation, I manage retail and construction projects with budgets exceeding $2.5 million. I coordinate teams across IT, Real Estate, Finance, Purchasing, Operations, Marketing, and Merchandising, while overseeing national vendors and contractors.

I am experienced in identifying risks early, resolving delivery obstacles, negotiating with partners, and improving operational processes. My work implementing Smartsheet and redesigning purchase-order workflows in Oracle JD Edwards improved forecasting, accountability, reporting, and invoice-processing efficiency.

My military and volunteer experience has strengthened my ability to operate under pressure, collaborate with diverse agencies and communities, train partners on systems and procedures, and mentor junior team members. I bring a practical, collaborative, and results-focused approach to every project.
