About Courtney Taylor

Hi there! It\'s nice to virtually meet you. I\'m Courtney, and I am overly passionate about helping people and investing in the personal growth of myself and my community through collaborative learning environments. As a Project Manager at Microsoft, I am able to leverage my soft skills as well as my technical skills to achieve project completion within the budget and timeframe. My focus is primarily on digital transformation, and supporting our customer\'s desires to engage in the advances in cloud computing. I enjoy working with technical resources to gain insight into the technical processes and continually improve my leadership, mentoring, and coaching abilities as a Project Manager.
