Professional Journey

Career Progression

Software Developer → Supervisor of System Development

My career began in software development, where I built a strong technical foundation and learned firsthand how systems are designed, built, and maintained. As a Supervisor of System Development, I led engineering teams, strengthened development processes, and ensured high‑quality delivery across multiple initiatives.

Project Manager

I transitioned into Project Management, where I managed timelines, budgets, and cross‑functional coordination for enterprise programs — building the governance skills that would define the next phase of my career.

Scrum Master

This experience naturally evolved into my work as a Scrum Master, where I coached teams, improved delivery flow, and helped organizations adopt Agile practices across complex programs.

Release Train Engineer — Physician Documentation ART

At the height of my Agile leadership journey, I served as Release Train Engineer for the Physician Documentation Agile Release Train — facilitating all program‑level ceremonies, strengthening cross‑team alignment, and coaching Scrum Masters and Agile teams on SAFe processes. I drove program execution, improved flow, and ensured the ART delivered consistent, predictable value.

Senior Program Manager & Scrum Master — Today

Today, I bring all of these experiences together — technical depth, team leadership, Agile delivery, and program governance — to drive large‑scale initiatives with clarity, structure, and measurable impact.

Leadership Philosophy

Three Pillars of Great Delivery

I believe great delivery is built on three pillars: alignment, transparency, and accountability. My approach centers on creating the conditions where teams can perform at their best — through clear communication, structured planning, proactive risk management, and a relentless focus on outcomes.

01

Alignment

Bringing teams, stakeholders, and strategy into a unified direction so every effort moves toward the same goal.

02

Transparency

Maintaining clear, honest communication across all levels so decisions are informed, risks are visible, and trust is built.

03

Accountability

Fostering a culture where teams own their outcomes, commitments are kept, and continuous improvement is the standard.
