At Quiet Professionals, I managed an annual portfolio valued at over $8 million and oversaw a team of more than 20 professionals.My journey from a hands-on technical professional to a program manager has instilled a deep understanding of logical problem-solving and a drive to build systems for efficiency and growth. My work creating the knowledge management framework for the program management team and leading the development of a real-time communication tool for business development demonstrates my dedication to efficiency. I focus on continuing education, process improvement and a clear battle rhythms to enable my teams, helping them develop their own skills while ensuring we meet project goals.Regardless if I\'m managing a multi-million-dollar portfolio or leading quick-reaction teams in response to natural disasters my approach to leadership is to ask the right questions to identify the root cause and guide teams toward a successful solution.
