As a professional project manager, veteran, and community servant, I appreciate solving complex problems to help teams succeed. I offer a strong perspective on how to optimize completion of projects within the scope. The secret lies within creating connections and empowering team members to be successful. I take great pride in getting to understand the people I work with just as much as the task at hand.I've been in numerous adverse challenges where I was not excited to wake up and complete the difficult task in front of me. However, realizing I had built strong relations with my team always took those hesitations away. It was always good to know I climbed mountainous challenges with people I could laugh with, share ideas with, and share memorable moments with. Before you realize it, you will have reached the top and completed your objective. This is what fosters ingenuity in organizations. Take care of your people, and they will take care of you! With 4 years of experience as a Signal Officer in the Army, I have worked extensively with numerous complex challenges managing IT projects. None of which could have been completed without me having the privilege of leading some of the most skilled, intelligent, and dedicated employees I could ask for. While I found myself applying my Mechanical Engineering education background quite often, I frequently relied on each team member's direct expertise on operational matters as I was coordinating resources for the project. What does your team value?
