🔍 AI & ML Enthusiast | Agile Transformation Expert | Visionary AI Program & Product Manager

With over a decade of experience in Agile Transformation, Technical Program Management, and Release Train Engineering, I've been at the forefront of driving digital strategies and fostering growth across various industry domains. My passion lies at the intersection of AI, ML, and data-driven decision-making. Having championed organizational transformations in the I.T. industry, I've developed a keen sense of leveraging data to drive product innovation and operational efficiency.

🌐 My experience spans Fortune 100 to 300 companies, where I've effectively engaged with stakeholders and executive management, skills crucial for AI product management. My hands-on approach in overseeing tech initiatives, risk management, and strategic leadership has equipped me to navigate the complexities of AI projects, ensuring they align with business objectives.

🤖 I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of AI tools in freelancing, amassing 2,000+ LinkedIn News Subscribers in just 30 days. This exposure has solidified my belief in the potential of AI to revolutionize industries.

📊 My expertise in managing cross-functional teams, stakeholder management, and driving cross-program collaboration makes me adept at bridging the gap between technical AI teams and business units. I'm well-versed in cloud platforms, which are essential for AI & ML deployments. I have a proven track record in managing third-party applications, ensuring seamless integration and deployment of AI solutions.

🚀 As I look forward to transitioning into AI, ML, and data, I'm eager to bring my leadership skills, strategic vision, and Agile expertise to drive AI initiatives from conception to completion. I'm excited to collaborate with forward-thinking teams and organizations to harness the power of AI, creating impactful solutions for tomorrow.

Data-Driven at Heart: I've consistently leveraged data to inform decisions and drive improvements throughout my career. My hands-on experience with tools like EazyBI allowed me to craft meaningful metrics, and my proficiency with Google Sheets and Excel enabled me to create custom metric charts tailored for Agile teams. These initiatives were not just about numbers; they were strategic efforts to enhance delivery, streamline processes, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. In AI and ML, where data is the foundation, I'm excited to bring this data-centric approach to drive impactful results.

Scrum Master

I started my career as a physical therapist, helping people regain their mobility and independence. Over time, I realized my passion wasn’t just in solving individual problems—it was in designing systems that empower entire teams to succeed. This realization led me to Agile delivery, where I now combine my background in healthcare, expertise in Agile coaching, and servant leadership philosophy to help organizations and teams thrive.

As a results-driven Agile Delivery Lead, Program Manager, and Certified Scrum Master (SAFe 6 Agilist), I bring over 15 years of experience guiding cross-functional teams and organizations to achieve their goals through scalable Agile transformations. My journey has been defined by a commitment to fostering cultures of continuous improvement (Kaizen), delivering high-impact solutions, and mentoring teams to achieve operational excellence.

One of my most rewarding achievements was at TiER1 Performance Solutions, where I successfully led the development and deployment of a Learning Management System (LMS) that serves over 4,000 clinics and 332,000 patients worldwide. Leveraging Agile frameworks and tools like Jira and ADO, I ensured seamless execution within timelines, resolved technical challenges, and aligned deliverables with stakeholder expectations.

As a servant leader, I specialize in building cohesive, high-performing teams and mentoring individuals to define and achieve Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). My expertise extends to change management, process improvement, and innovation, enabling organizations to adopt automation and emerging AI strategies that drive efficiency and long-term success.

Beyond Agile delivery, I’ve led strategic initiatives in diverse sectors. At the School District of Palm Beach County, I oversaw district-wide policies and health programs that impacted more than 187,000 students, demonstrating my ability to align organizational objectives with community needs.

My technical toolkit includes Agile coaching, program analysis, cloud-based systems, and data-driven strategic planning. As a Certified Scrum Master and SAFe Agilist, I have a proven track record of managing large-scale projects and delivering transformative solutions that empower teams and improve organizational outcomes.
