A Project/Process Manager with 20+ years of experience, I have managed projects from small to multi-million dollar international projects. I have partnered with various departments to identify & recommend process improvements for operational & cost efficiencies. Each project/process improvement initiative had their own issues and challenges; with each I learned & grew. In 2015 I began caring for my mother, requiring regular traveling to Arizona. To provide adequate care, I paused my career, doing contract based work until full-time care was required I then moved Mom to live with me. She passed in January of 2022. As a result of my career hiatus, I took an entry level administrative position to step back into the professional world. Quickly my process/project management skillsets quickly emerged, I assure you that while my career was put on hold, my knowledge & skillsets were not, I just used in ways I never expected. In my current position, although outside of my responsibilities, I reviewed processes for improvement opportunities. Presenting leadership with findings/recommendations and with approval I implemented new policies/procedures. Working with other departments & vendors reduced operational spend by 31%.A strength of mine is the ability to see and work outside the lines, to ask questions in order to see the big picture. Whether a project or process, I ensure that I have the full scope and understanding of the end goal to provide a comprehensive plan and its successful execution.Key SkillsetsCommunication - Clear & effective written & verbal communication skill at all stakeholder levels with a keen ability to achieve understanding and consensusPlanning/Organization - Proven track record of effectively prioritizing multiple tasks and assignments in a fast-paced work environment to meet departmental and corporate objectivesCustomer Focused - Ensure that customer needs are fully heard, understood, and metTeam Player - Ability to build partnerships with co-workers at varying levels of understanding, responsibility, and goals to achieve successProblem Solving - Proactively anticipate, mitigate, and manage risk and/or obstaclesProject Management & Coordination - Big picture view with attention to the finest detail with extensive hands-on experienceInitiative Taker - Highly motivated with capacity to learn quickly & think out-of-the-box to achieve goals and objectivesProcess Driven - Consistently evaluating processes & ways of working to identity improvement opportunities and increase efficiencies and reduce spend
