About

I used to build systems. Now I build the programs that transform how organizations hire, operate, and grow. My engineering degree taught me precision. My PMP taught me to manage complexity. But becoming a mother of three? That taught me real leadership: seeing possibility in chaos and building something that lasts. Here's what I know: The best transformation programs aren't designed in PowerPoints. They're built in the trenches, by people willing to redesign what everyone else has accepted. #FROM BLUEPRINTS TO PROGRAMS I started as an engineer thinking in systems. Then became a project manager, where I learned people are the most complex variable — and that's what makes it worth solving. When I moved into HR and TA, I didn't leave my engineering brain behind. I brought it with me. And it changed everything. I stopped asking "How do we fill roles faster?" and started asking "How do we build programs that make the entire talent engine run better?" #WHAT I'VE BUILT → AI Recruitment Transformation saving $1.2M annually, cutting manual review by 40% → Workforce forecasting models hitting 92% accuracy — hiring surges never catch us off guard → HRIS/ATS integration reducing Time-to-Fill by 45% (42 days to 23) → 40+ Power BI dashboards delivering real-time predictive workforce intelligence → M&A program leadership ensuring 100% transition readiness across field and corporate teams #WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT I'm not the Program Manager who inherits a roadmap and executes it quietly. I'm the one who asks "Why does this exist?" — then rebuilds it with data and a bias for outcomes. My superpower? I think like an engineer, govern like a PMP, and lead like someone who knows every metric has a human behind it. #LET'S CONNECT IF YOU NEED: ✓ A Senior Program Manager who owns AI & digital transformation end-to-end ✓ Complex HR/TA programs translated into executive-ready outcomes ✓ A strategic leader with M&A depth, change management expertise, and proven ROI I bring analytical rigor, PMP/CSM execution discipline, and the resilience of someone navigating enterprise transformation and bedtime routines in the same day. 📩 Open to collaborating | 🎤 Keynote speaker | ☕ Coffee chats welcome
