I worked with customers and sales team members to define project requirements, key milestones, and project goals. Once the goals and milestones were outlined I would assess the risks and define what contingencies would be needed to prevent or minimize the impact on the overall project goals. I created project plans, timelines, and engaged the appropriate internal support resources. As project timelines advanced, I would monitor progress and communicate status to project stakeholders. When issues came up I would work to resolve them quickly, making sure to communicate effectively during the issue resolution process. Upfront planning and attention to details, helped me develop a reputation as a reliable finisher that consistently delivered on commitments.• Honored as a recipient of the Domino Forging the Future Award.
