Biography

I am a project manager based in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada.

My diverse working history spans the construction and music/recording industries. Now, following an Interactive Arts and Technology bachelor's degree program at Simon Fraser University, my aim is to transition into the technology industry.

I have successfully delivered complex projects on time, within resource constraints, and by routinely exceeding stakeholder expectations of quality.

My inter-disciplinary design training has bolstered my communication, research, presentation, and relationship-building skills. This, combined with an inclination towards strategic thinking has enabled me to lead project teams to outstanding results. My ability to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a team, prioritize workflows, plan, and maintain positive morale has enabled strong team performance and a positive working culture.

As a mature student, I have demonstrated dedication to continuous learning as well as the ability to adapt to changing socioeconomic conditions. This awareness is keenly reflected in my ability to interpret and adjust to changing project requirements, empathize with stakeholders, and build camaraderie with the project team and sponsors.

Overall, this combination of experience and knowledges helps me to add value to programs and portfolios by imbuing projects with leadership and responsibility. If your projects could benefit from my experience, please feel free to get in touch with me.
