I am a technical project manager proficient in Agile and Waterfall methodologies as well as fostering positive stakeholder and team relationships. I have five years of experience as an educator, which allowed me to develop strong communication, organization, and leadership skills. I also have experience as an account manager for an international e-commerce/manufacturing company, which created a strong interest in technology and how it enhances business processes. My diverse background enables me to look at dynamic problems in unique ways.
