I have spent the better part of a decade making sure complex, high-stakes work actually gets done, across project management, operations coordination, bid management, and revenue operations. At FTI Consulting I managed RFP and grant workflows end to end, the kind of deadline-driven, detail-heavy work where nothing can slip. At Grant Thornton I moved into project management, owning cross-functional coordination, stakeholder communication, CRM management, and process improvement across active accounts. Last quarter alone I coordinated grant and RFP submissions that secured over $1.2 million in funding across multiple clients, and I currently manage several of those engagements through active reporting and compliance deliverables. Over time that experience has expanded into broader operations support including SOP development, workflow automation, pipeline management, executive support, and virtual assistant work for founders and small teams. I am comfortable working across tools like HubSpot, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, and Google Workspace, and I can jump into whatever system a team already has running without needing hand-holding. My background in project coordination and operations management means I think in systems, track what is moving and what is stalled, and take ownership of the execution layer so leadership does not have to chase things down. If you need a reliable operations manager or project coordinator who works independently, communicates clearly, and keeps everything moving, that is exactly how I work.
