About Me

I'm a PMP-certified project leader specializing in bridging technology deployment with project administration. My career spans managing capital projects up to $10 million across diverse industries — from deploying high-density Wi-Fi networks at premier venues like DFW Airport and Hard Rock Stadium, to modernizing security infrastructure across 63 school facilities.

I thrive on leading strategic project management efforts that foster innovation, maximize operational efficiency, and support long-term organizational growth. Whether orchestrating cross-functional teams, negotiating vendor contracts, or managing complex construction coordination, I deliver results that exceed expectations.
