01 / about

Leader. Engineer. Results-Driven. AI Enthusiast.

I am a PMP & CSM certified PMO Leader and Portfolio Manager — currently pursuing my RMP — with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Magna Cum Laude) and a Master's in Executive Project Management.

With 16+ years in industrial program management globally, I've led cross-functional teams across maintenance, operations, capital projects, and new product development in complex industrial environments.

Currently Program Management Manager at Eaton Bussmann, I oversee PMO activities and ensure alignment with strategic goals — managing programs prioritized by ROI and resource capacity.

I bridge technical rigor and operational leadership, applying agile and waterfall frameworks while driving stakeholder alignment across global organizations.
