Welcome! 👋🏽 Want your projects and team running like clockwork? You're in the right place! I design Asana and Monday workspaces that automate workflows, boost productivity, and give stakeholders clear visibility. Here’s how we make it happen: 🧠 Strategy + Process Mapping: I start by getting clear on how your business runs by doing discovery calls to dive in deeper. Then, I map your workflows, uncover gaps/bottlenecks, and design processes that support your goals. This gives you clarity, alignment, and a solid foundation for scalable systems and automation. 🛠 Custom Workspaces: Using your process maps as the blueprint, I create workspaces that align with your needs, optimizing collaboration, organization, and productivity for your team. This creates an organized, easy-to-use system that supports execution. ⚡️ Automated Workflows: I create custom rules and Zapier integrations to streamline workflows, reduce errors, keep hand-offs seamless, and free up your team to focus on what truly matters. This saves time, minimizes errors, and keeps workflows running smoothly. 📊 Reporting + Dashboards: I create custom dashboards and reports that give you deeper insights into goals (KPIs), project progress, and team performance. This gives you visibility and confidence in how things are tracking so you can make informed decisions. 👩🏽🏫 Training + Onboarding: I provide tailored training and onboarding sessions to ensure a smooth transition and help your team master the new workflows so everyone knows how to use them confidently. This supports adoption, consistency, and long-term success. My approach is simple and intentional. If you are looking for someone who can bring clarity to your operations and build systems that scale with you, I would love to help! - Nadia

When a project stalls or things start to feel like organized chaos, it's usually not a people problem. It's a structure problem. I help teams get out of reactive mode and into systems that actually work. Most of the clients I work with already have tools in place, whether that's ClickUp, Airtable, Asana, or something similar. The issue is usually that the setup has become hard to manage, difficult to trust, or inconsistent across the team. Tasks fall through the cracks, reporting is unclear, and no one is fully confident in what's getting done. That's where I come in. My background is 20+ years in enterprise operations and data strategy, most of it inside Fortune 500 financial services. I work with small businesses and growing teams now, but the systems thinking comes from environments where things had to work at scale. I look at how your work actually runs day to day, figure out where things are breaking down, and rebuild your system so it's clear, usable, and aligned to how your team operates. Typical work includes: Cleaning up and restructuring ClickUp, Airtable, or Asana setups that have gotten unwieldy Designing role-based dashboards so individual contributors, managers, and leadership each see what's relevant to them Building CRMs and intake systems that replace spreadsheets and manual tracking Standardizing workflows and SOPs so work doesn't get stuck when one person is out Building dashboards in AgencyAnalytics, ClickUp, or Asana so leadership can actually make decisions My approach is practical and focused on adoption. If a system looks good but your team won't use it, it doesn't work. AI is part of how I work now. I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot for things like research, documentation drafts, and dashboard prototyping, which means I can turn around in days what used to take weeks. The recommendations are still mine; the tools just help me get to them faster. I don't hand off a plan and disappear. I stay through implementation, work alongside your team, and make sure the system actually runs before stepping back. A few things clients have said: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Rose-Ann led an enterprise-level initiative across multiple teams. She mitigated risk, delivered on time, and was a key reason the project succeeded." — Sal V., Sr. Program Manager, Fortune 500 Asset Management Firm ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Exceptional technical PM. On the ball, responsive, responsible, diligent, organized, intelligent, and also just a pleasant person to work with. You would be lucky to have her on your team." — Charlie Render, Render Analytics ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"She really took the time to understand our business and came up with a system that was tailor-made for our needs. Knowledgeable, goes the extra mile, and a true pleasure to work with." — Fadima F., INNATE Traditions If you’ve got a project that needs structure or a system that could run more smoothly, feel free to reach out. Happy to talk through what’s going on and see how I can help.
