For almost two decades, I have been assisting organizations in restructuring and reorganizing their teams. During this time, I have also been exploring new ways of fostering cooperation and collaboration among individuals to improve team efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce operating costs.
I take pride in working closely with each client, treating them as unique organizations with challenges and advantages. By understanding what sets them apart, I can identify their specific needs and determine the best way to address them.
My philosophy is rooted in Agile's core values and principles, which are based on the realities of rapidly changing markets and human nature. I combine theory and practice to provide an analytical, data-driven, and community-centered approach that helps organizations achieve their goals.
As an Agile Philosopher, Leader, Listener, Educator, Speaker, and Conversationalist, I lean into opportunities for collaborating with DevTestOps teams to deliver high-quality software solutions. With over 18 years of experience managing projects, I have developed the skills and knowledge necessary to lead teams to successfully develop and launch complex and scalable solutions that meet the needs of the customers and the business. My expertise in Agile Transformations and Coaching and my track record of success and passion for leadership allow me to deliver integrated engineering systems across multiple development and product teams.
As the VP of Education at the PMI Delaware Valley Chapter, I am passionate about educating and empowering others to adopt Agile values and principles to continuously improve their performance and outcomes. Effective communication and efficient project planning are essential to successful, on-time delivery. I pull from my extensive knowledge of tools and techniques to lead project completion and facilitate active communication and continuous planning in the face of rapidly evolving business requirements.
As a professional, I am passionate about Agile values and principles, and I strive to embrace this mindset to create and deliver value for end-users and consumers. With my extensive knowledge and experience, I help my teams achieve their long-term professional goals, and my Agile Leadership skills have proven instrumental in successfully executing large-scale business initiatives sponsored by high-ranking officials.
In addition to my professional achievements, I am an accomplished academic who holds a bachelor's degree in Classic German Literature and Language from Moravian College, a master's degree in Modern European History from Villanova University and is pursuing a second master's degree in Business Information and Technology at Drexel University. I have received a Fulbright Research Scholarship and a Full Research Grant from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst and studied Six Sigma improvement methods.
