Projects

I have been fortunate enough to work on many diverse projects. My positions have been varied from managing small scale projects to working as a business analyst and Project Management Office (PMO) Specialist on multi-million dollar installations for Fortune500 companies. I enjoyed leading projects as a volunteer and working alongside consultants and very experienced project managers (PM) which has given me a great opportunity to learn about different aspects of project management, from developing social media strategies to managing digitization.

Included in the projects on which I have worked are high visibility events, primarily trade shows and sports events for over 500 attendees.

I am excited that I will complete my certification as a Certified Scrum Product Owner on February 7. 2020.

Listed below are experiences I have had, however, because of professional ethics I have not listed the names or actual pictures of any clients.

Perhaps we can discuss more specifics in my interview?
