As a seasoned implementation project manager and people leader, I bring a wealth of experience in leading global, cross-functional teams to success. My career spans roles at industry leaders like Oracle, ADP, TransPerfect Translations, and NBC Universal, where I have consistently delivered measurable results through exceptional leadership and strategic planning. I specialize in SaaS implementations, translation/localization, and broadcast television, with a robust skill set in project management, process improvement, and technical expertise. At ADP, I managed diverse teams implementing ADP Workforce Now while significantly enhancing client satisfaction. My expertise in forging relationships with third-party vendors and developing innovative processes has been pivotal in acquiring new clients and improving program outcomes. My professional journey also includes managing language translation and localization projects at TransPerfect Translations. Additionally, I honed my cross-cultural communication skills in the JET Program in Japan and coordinated daily localization and translation of golf news broadcasts at NBC Universal. I hold a Master of Arts in International Business from the University of Florida, a Graduate Certificate in Business Management from Rollins College, and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Media Studies from the University of Central Florida. I am also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and hold the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC). I am passionate about driving organizational success through strategic implementation and am always eager to connect with like-minded professionals.
