Cross-Sector Leadership – Delivering projects in not-for-profit and government contexts, with experience aligning programs to funding requirements, regulatory frameworks, and public policy objectives Hybrid Delivery – Skilled in traditional project management (waterfall) with experience integrating Agile elements into software and technology initiatives, including stand-ups, iterative planning, and retrospectives.

Stakeholder Engagement – Leading diverse teams of staff, volunteers, and government partners, with a focus on collaboration, coaching, and building trust.
