I have been with Accenture for over 23 years. I have spent 17 years working in a leadership capacity on the C-IV, LRS, and CalSAWS projects involving large and complex IT systems and have expert project management and technical architecture delivery skills. One of my favorite areas to work in is innovation and I have 12 years of experience working in a technical capacity responsible for evaluating technology improvements and innovations, and 12 years of experience developing and delivering technology proofs of concept or pilot projects. Additionally, I have 21 years of experience supporting the State of California and its citizens. Under my current leadership on the CalSAWS Project, I have worked on innovation efforts through the innovation program, resulting in 150 submitted ideas, 10 pitches, six pilots, and three ideas scaled statewide into the CalSAWS Project. This program was recently recognized by the American Public Human Service Association (APHSA) IT Solutions Management for Human Services (ISM) as a 2022 winner for Collaboration Across Boundaries. My top 3 CliftonStrengths are Competition, Futuristic, and Ideation. I am known for my strong client relationships, solving client business problems, and strong technical background.
