Project management process
I'm a gifted project manager, writer, and editor with a knack for managing the details and big picture. I excel in mentoring and motivating rock-solid teams of creative and technical professionals while promoting collaboration, empathy, creativity, collegial relationships, healthy attitudes and work/life balance.
My contributions have lifted numerous organizations and propelled me into the role of a trusted C-Suite Partner.
So what's my secret sauce? Doing it all with a calm, reassuring presence and a sly sense of humor.
