About Me

I live in Castle Rock, Colorado with my family and 3 dogs.  When I'm not at work, I really love to be outside, enjoying the weather, gardening, walking the dogs, and enjoying several hobbies. I also enjoy reading books both for pleasure and professional growth.   I love traveling, hiking, exploring and spending time with family. If I am vacationing near a national park, it's a must see. 

In June 2024, I earned a Master in Science from Colorado State University - Global, in Organizational Leadership with a specialization in Strategic Innovation and Change Management. 

As side hobbies, I paint, am learning pottery, garden, strength train, and run. I have run the Chicago Marathon twice, raising funds for charities both times. I am also a certified Colorado Master Gardener with the Colorado State University Extension. 

Professionally, I have over 25 years of working in technology and being an individual contributor for product development. Over the years, I have worked in the public and private sectors with formal titles of consultant developer, trainer, business analyst, program manager and project manager. 

Expanding beyond the title, I have experience in training, business and systems analysis, process improvement, business process reenginnering, change management, program and project management with a focus in managing custom development application teams using Agile Scrum methodology and commercial product upgrades using Waterfall. 

My vision is to progress into management and utilize my skills and experiences in building teams as a manager or products as a product manager resulting in products that are engaging for customers and beneficial to the organizations goals.
