How I Work

I'm a program manager who brings structure, clarity, and follow-through to complex, cross-functional work. I'm comfortable operating in ambiguity, but I don't romanticize it. My goal is to reduce uncertainty, protect teams, and move work forward sustainably.

Working Style

  • Grounded, steady, and execution-focused
  • Comfortable in high-pressure environments without creating urgency for its own sake
  • Oriented toward systems, not heroics
  • Protective of team capacity and long-term sustainability

Planning and Delivery

  • Translate strategy into clear plans, timelines, dependencies, and milestones
  • Establish operating rhythms early and adjust them as reality changes
  • Track risks, surface tradeoffs, and escalate issues before they become blockers
  • Balance flexibility with guardrails to protect deadlines, budgets, and people

Communication

  • Clear, direct, and context-rich
  • Prefer written artifacts that create shared understanding and reduce rework
  • Use meetings intentionally to resolve ambiguity, not perform alignment
  • Comfortable communicating internally and externally when clarity or trust is needed

Decision Making

  • Grounded in constraints, available data, and downstream impact
  • Willing to make decisions with incomplete information
  • Explicit about tradeoffs and assumptions
  • Adjust course when conditions change rather than defending sunk costs

External Narrative and PR Collaboration

  • Strong at translating complex work into clear, accurate narratives
  • Experienced partnering with communications, PR, and leadership teams
  • Approach external visibility as a tool to support programs, not an end in itself
  • Value scoped, intentional external communication over constant public presence

What I'm Best At

  • Coordinating complex work across teams with competing priorities
  • Building systems that make execution repeatable and predictable
  • Creating clarity where ownership, timelines, or scope are fuzzy
  • Keeping delivery on track without burning people out

What I Avoid

  • Hero culture and chronic urgency
  • Ambiguous ownership without accountability
  • Conflating visibility with impact
  • Solving structural problems through individual sacrifice
