PMP and PMI-ACP certified project manager with 13 years turning tangled operations into workflows, training and tools teams actually use.
Certified, Project Management Institute
Agile Certified Practitioner, PMI
Annual revenue added at TimberRidge
Camp enrollment growth
PMP pass rate, first training cohort
The organization needed certified project managers but had no in-house path to get there.
Stood up an internal learning management system and delivered PMP training through it.
A 100% pass rate for the first cohort, and enough demand to fund a second round.
Inconsistent Microsoft Project practices across functions meant schedules could not be compared or trusted.
Led best-practice training on schedule structure, time modeling and schedule maturity, pitched to audiences with very different levels of project management experience.
Shared schedule discipline across functions. Currently building a scalable cross-functional labeling workflow template to absorb rising request volume and support rebranding and relicensing work.
An adventure center underdelivering on both revenue and attendance.
Redesigned scheduling, staffing and resource allocation. Built digital tracking tools and reporting dashboards. Hired, trained and coached a 20-person seasonal team.
$90,000 in added annual revenue and 300% growth in camp enrollment.
A workflow nobody adopts is not a workflow. Design for the actual humans and their actual experience level.
Dashboards, trackers and work breakdown structures. If a team cannot see the work, they cannot manage it.
Adult learning, facilitation and coaching, so the knowledge survives after the project closes.
Templates and repeatable structures beat heroics every time.
Microsoft Project scheduling, work breakdown structures, precedence diagramming, critical path method, milestone tracking, variance analysis, risk analysis
continuous improvement, workflow design, cross-functional alignment, stakeholder communication
training strategy, curriculum development, adult learning, facilitation, coaching, knowledge transfer
team building, group facilitation, people leadership, hiring and coaching
A philosophy degree and a teaching master's is a strange way into project management. It is also exactly why the complicated stuff gets explained clearly.
Every one of these jobs was the same job: get a group of people through something complicated, safely and on schedule.
Project and process leadership across labeling, scheduling and internal training.
Full operational ownership: planning, budgeting, staffing, procurement and program delivery.
Park system operations, community engagement, visitor safety and educational programming for schools and community groups.
Ran outdoor education operations for more than 10,000 participants a year, covering curriculum design, budgeting, staff training and safety compliance.
I run long, jump out of planes and spend a lot of time outside. All three are the same hobby, really. They reward people who plan carefully, respect the checklist and stay calm when the plan changes. That habit followed me into work, or maybe it went the other direction. I have stopped trying to figure out which.
Currently looking for my next project management role. Happy to talk about what you are building.
