About

I’m an experienced Project and Program Manager with a proven track record of delivering large-scale initiatives across technology, automotive, and live events for global brands including Apple, Rivian Automotive, and Delaware North. I specialise in leading cross-functional teams, managing complex programs end to end, and implementing AI-enabled reporting and analytics workflows to drive operational efficiency and improve decision-making. My work has spanned system implementations, talent and people programs, and high-impact operational remodels and events. I bring a collaborative, execution-focused approach, with strengths in stakeholder and vendor management, governance, and executive-level alignment. Backed by degrees in Criminal Justice and International Communications, I’m comfortable bridging technical and non-technical teams and leveraging AI tools to streamline workflows, enhance insights, and scale delivery. I’m now seeking opportunities where I can continue delivering measurable impact in fast-paced, growth-oriented environments.
