I’m a seasoned agile business analyst leading others to realize maximum value through product development. I’m a proven expert in eliciting requirements, facilitation, process modeling, data modeling, scrum, product backlog management, coaching and mentoring. All these skills were enabled through a diverse college education, work experiences and certifications. As a Business Analyst at Jewelers Mutual, I learned how to hone my inquisitive nature to extract and capture business needs and wants from stakeholders across the entire organization. I’ve worked on various projects ranging in size from analyzing data to an entirely new distribution model greatly contributing to the companies bottom line. At Thrivent, I was able to influence team members and leadership to enhance the execution of scrum in Mutual Fund Accounting. The changes included maturing backlog management and prioritization, refinement practices, transparency, and advanced business analyst practices. I am currently striving to be a great servant leader by growing those around me through active listening, coaching and mentoring.Certificates:Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I) - September 2020Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) – April 2018Masters Certificate in Business Analysis – December 2017Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) – April 2017
