My Philosophy
I have a consultant's outlook - every day I get to innovate, fix processes that are broken, and improve those that are "working." I thrive in challenging environments, especially those that encourage growth and opportunity. I LOVE to multitask. I have worked as a consultant for companies of many sizes and corporate cultures. I like fast paced environments that are challenging. I learn quickly! I am a hybrid with IT & Business skills but will always be a techie at heart. I love social media, emerging technology, internet radio, and publishing.
I have experience with ASP, Visual Basic, Java, Perl, SQL, XML, C#, & .NET. When I wrote code, I also participated in the project management and BA functionalities of the software development life cycle. I enjoy roles where I am responsible for scope management, cost management, schedule/resource management, risk management, quality management/testing, communication management, process analysis, and production deployment. I'm a PMP and CSM. I like processes, standards, and appropriate documentation. However, I am agile and have used the Scrum methodology when appropriate.
I earned my PMP certification in 2008 and Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification in 2013. I earned my Masters in Information Systems Management in 2007 and a second Masters in Project Management in 2009. I speak French & German, as well as basic Dutch.
