I graduated 15 years ago with my aerospace engineering degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Early in my career I focused on computational aerodynamics at NASA for 3 years and then General Atomics Aeronautical for 4. I then was able to leverage my technical background and industry experience to spend the next 4 years carving out my own group that provides business intelligence and analytics services specifically to the engineering branch (1,200 employees). I completed my MBA at the UCSD Rady School of Management while working at General Atomics and took a special interest in data science and analytics applied towards various business concepts. My engineering background, my MBA, and my years of experience in data analytics gave me the opportunity to start my own full stack business analytics consulting company which I transitioned to an LLC. I have been freelancing for 5 years now and have worked for marketing agencies, ecommerce businesses, heavy duty equipment holding companies, personal traders, various startups, and more. I want to use this experience and knowledge to help you in your business or personal enterprises. Let's work together!

Program Manager | Ops Director — PMO & Execution Overview I'm the person founders and executives bring in when they know exactly where the business needs to go, but need someone to actually drive it there — chasing follow-ups, unblocking teams, and turning strategy into finished work without needing to be managed every step of the way. What I bring: Over a decade of program and operations leadership across aviation, enterprise technology, and public-sector consulting — including directing a $10M+ merger-integration program across two airline carriers (15 project managers, 32 concurrent workstreams) and delivering a 2-year systems implementation that drove an 80% improvement in operational efficiency. I currently serve as the operational backbone for a growing consulting agency, owning the full client portfolio, executive reporting, and stakeholder communication — the person the CEO relies on to know the status of every initiative without having to ask. How I work: ▸ I own the tracker, not just my piece of it — every initiative, every day, moving toward "done" ▸ I chase without being asked — following up, surfacing blockers, and fixing them before they cost time ▸ I turn scattered meetings and Slack threads into real systems: SOPs, RAID logs, RACI models, playbooks people actually use ▸ I run daily or weekly check-ins with clear recaps: what moved, what's stuck, what I need from you ▸ I run hiring processes end-to-end when needed — sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews Where I add the most value: Program & portfolio management • PMO design and governance • Operations/Chief-of-Staff support • Team and vendor coordination • Process and SOP design • QA/data validation • Stakeholder and executive communications • Hiring and onboarding systems I hold a PMP® and CSM® certification and I'm a Smartsheet Certified Expert. I'm also the founder of my own consulting practice, IT Ops Excellence Consulting, LLC, so I bring an owner's mindset to every engagement, not just a task-list mentality. If you need someone who turns "here's the goal" into "here's what's done," let's talk.

I help growing companies create clarity, consistency, and execution through strong processes, documentation, and enablement. My work focuses on designing SOPs, playbooks, training materials, and operational workflows that help teams actually do their jobs better. I’m often brought in when processes live in people’s heads, onboarding is inconsistent, or teams are struggling to scale without breaking things. I also support cross-functional initiatives where structure, coordination, and follow-through are critical—acting as a senior partner who can step in, assess quickly, and bring order to complex or ambiguous situations. I’m commonly hired to: Build SOPs, playbooks, and internal documentation Create onboarding, enablement, and training materials Improve operational and financial workflows Bring structure and clarity to cross-functional initiatives Support leaders who need execution without adding headcount I’m highly organized, proactive, and easy to work with. I translate complexity into clear, usable materials and processes that teams actually adopt. If you need someone who can create structure, enable your team, and help work move forward smoothly, I’d be happy to connect.
