Federal Project Management Team Lead | Top Secret Cleared | PMP, CSM, ITIL, Sec+ | IT & Construction Governance
About
Successful program management requires more than just rigid schedules—it requires clear communication, emotional intelligence, and the ability to bridge the gap between technical teams and stakeholders.
With 15 years of experience in cleared environments, I bring a unique blend of discipline derived from my early military service and the agility refined through years of private industry experience. I specialize in bringing structure to complex environments while maintaining the soft skills necessary to keep diverse teams aligned.
Core Areas of Expertise
Stakeholder Coordination: Acting as the primary liaison between technical execution teams (Accounting, Scheduling, Estimating) and program leadership to manage expectations and clear roadblocks.
Program Governance: Establishing reliable control through detailed Action Item Tracking, Risk Management, and Deliverable Management.
Information Management: Designing and managing centralized SharePoint repositories to ensure data integrity, transparency, and accessibility.
Process Optimization: Applying PMP, ITIL, and Security+ frameworks to maintain strict schedule adherence while adapting to the dynamic needs of the project.
