Career Direction
Following my last corporate role in 2025, I focused on pursuing theater and performance opportunities in New York City. Performing has long been part of my life, and I valued the opportunity to explore that path more fully.
I’m now seeking to return to operations and project management because I enjoy coordinating teams, improving processes, and keeping projects on track. I developed this portfolio to demonstrate how I approach that work and the experience I would bring to my next role.
