Corporate Communication Lead and DBSL - I was asked to serve as an interim lead for communication in 2023. I had produced our internal communication events / town hall meetings since 2012 and had domain knowledge to keep communications functioning until a new leader was identified (Nov 23). I produced, distributed, and planned our communications for 10 months in an official capacity and was the LS rep for a new intranet buildout with Dx, but had assisted this team with creative work for 10 years prior in various capacities. I did this in addition to serving as a DBSL and DE+I mentor.DBSL (Danaher Business System Lead) - promotion from previous role. Focus was on VPM coaching and Training and Facilitation Techniques for Instructors (TFTI - certified trainer) in the New Product Innovation space. I coached on VPM for 7 years; leading kaizens globally, doing benchmarking events in EU and US, and across multiple Danaher OpCo’s.Staff Project Manager - promotion / scope growth to focus on leading through DBS (Danaher Business System). Spread of scope to full global org across all business groups. I built collaboration systems, coached on DBS tools (primarily Visual Project Management (certified practitioner) for on time delivery (primarily R&D). I also led workstreams in DE+I, and began serving as a mentor through Engage Mentoring. Project Manager - promotion from previous role for all R&D. Started working with Diagnostics on a combined Excellence in Innovation program here as well (cross-OpCo work) to build IP funnel. We were acquired by Danaher during this time, separated into 2 operating companies, and began integrating DBS into our business.Sr. Project Administrator - managed vendor contracts, FDA and internal quality documentation, and collaboration architecture for R&D on a molecular diagnostic platform.

Running my own LLC, I learned what the art of doing business looks like from under the hood. My activity as a small business owner didn't change the world, but it did allow me to be a better contributor to the company I work for, as well as a better collaborator between my company and others. Ask me about it -- it's a pretty interesting story!

As a PM, I managed rapid prototyping of printed circuit boards from design to build in a regulated environment. These projects were on a 2 day to 6 week turn time. I added value to this role by giving my group process automation that was not previously available, as well as adding a knowledge sharing component that helped us work more efficiently with other groups. It was a great learning experience.
