I'm a certified project manager with a strong foundation in academic leadership, now focused on building impactful solutions with Microsoft Power Platform.

I'm actively pursuing Microsoft certifications and seeking full-time remote roles where I can contribute to digital transformation, workflow automation, and scalable business solutions.
About
I began my career in computer science, spending over 15 years in programming and software development before transitioning into project management. My passion for teaching led me into academia, where I taught computer science and later moved into senior administrative leadership. With over two decades of management experience, I’ve led teams, overseen complex operations, and driven strategic initiatives in higher education — all while maintaining a strong connection to technology and systems thinking. My journey into the world of data science and consulting began with a curiosity to unravel the complexities of data and transform them into actionable insights. Over the years, I've cultivated a diverse skill set, allowing me to tackle even the most intricate problems with finesse.
Today, I’m channeling that experience into Power Platform development, combining my technical foundation with proven leadership to build scalable, automated solutions. I hold a PMP certification and am actively pursuing Microsoft certifications to deepen my expertise. My goal is to join a forward-thinking organization in a full-time remote role where I can contribute to digital transformation, workflow optimization, and impactful project delivery.
My professional foundation was shaped by five years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, where I held roles including support equipment mechanic (gas, diesel, and jet engines), A-6 plane captain, and ground support equipment NCOIC. That experience instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, technical precision, and mission-focused leadership that continues to guide my work today.
