About
Structure, accountability, and execution at scale.
I am a program and operations leader with 20 years of experience managing complex initiatives from planning through closeout, administering multimillion-dollar portfolios, and aligning cross-functional teams across distributed operations.
My background spans regional program leadership, a $210 million modernization environment, complex project delivery, financial and compliance controls, and nonprofit operations. The common thread is measurable execution: improving output, restoring readiness, reducing administrative burden, protecting resources, and building teams that perform.
I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Project Management (Summa Cum Laude, 4.0 GPA), PMP®, CMIT, OSHA 30, Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, six Procore project-management certifications, and an Active Top Secret Clearance. I retire from active-duty service in September 2026 and am pursuing program, project, operations, and construction leadership roles in Middle Tennessee and virtually.
