About

As a Senior Project Manager (PMO) at Advance Auto Parts, I bring 17+ years of experience delivering high-impact IT and business transformation projects. My expertise spans process automation, data & analytics initiatives, agile project leadership, and continuous improvement — all driving measurable business outcomes. I’m passionate about leading cross-functional teams to execute complex, fast-paced programs — balancing quality, timelines, and stakeholder expectations. With deep knowledge of Agile frameworks (JIRA, Confluence) and a strong focus on business value, I help bridge the gap between technology and business needs. In today’s evolving landscape — shaped by AI and digital transformation — I’m committed to growing as a future-ready leader. I actively explore new technologies, foster a learning culture, and continuously enhance my skills in areas like AI-driven project leadership, change management, and product thinking. Looking ahead, I aim to contribute to organizations driving innovation — whether through advanced PMO leadership, AI & data transformation programs, or product-led growth. Let’s connect if you share the same passion for building the future of work!
