01 / about

Leader. Strategist. Builder.

I am a PMP and CSM certified Portfolio Manager with a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (Magna Cum Laude) and a Master's in Executive Project Management.

With 15 years in global program management and manufacturing, I've led teams across maintenance, operations, cost reduction, and new product development internationally.

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.
