Project Manager | Helping Women Land Tech PM Roles | your PM bff

Senior Program Manager at Palo Alto Networks. I specialize in navigating ambiguity and stabilizing high-stakes enterprise delivery. In 4 years, I moved from IT Coordinator to Senior Program Management by mastering one thing: Positioning.

I help experienced professionals increase their compensation by 5-6 figures using the experience they already have. You don’t need to start over; you need to be re-positioned.

I operate at the intersection of technical delivery and executive strategy. Whether it’s moving a high-visibility customer from "Red to Green" in 41 days or driving portfolio alignment across Engineering and Product, I focus on the ROI of Every Move.

The Proof: 
• Career: Promoted 3x in 4 years; currently directing program-level coordination for a global cybersecurity leader. 
• Client: Moved a professional from higher-ed to IT PM at $110K after a career gap. 
• Client: Secured $145K tech PM roles for clients in under 8 weeks. 
• Reach: Ranked among the top PM creators in the US with 3.5M+ annual impressions.

Positioning is the only variable you can control. I don’t agree with "entry-level resets." I believe in leverage.

I focus on: 
• Turning chaos into structured delivery paths. 
• Translating technical complexity for C-suite stakeholders. 
• Helping you get paid for the level you are already operating at.

I am building a self-paced program for experienced professionals who want to cross the gap into $150K+ Program and Project leadership roles.

New Student Orientation Leader

Financial Aid Peer Counselor

I am a results driven professional with a knack for problem solving and relationship building. I also have a proven track record of successfully planning & completing projects accurately and on time. With over 5 years of experience in project/program management, I've recently decided to enhance my skillset by prepping for a PMP certification.

In my current role, I oversee a 2 year pediatric fellowship for pediatric hospitalist at Baylor College of Medicine. Some call me the "Chaos Coordinator" and I have two cups to prove it. From interviews to graduation and everything in between, I strategically work to ensure deadlines are met and compliance is in order.

In my spare time when I'm not volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House or at spin class, I like to hang with a couple of bovines that encourage people to "Eat Mor Chikin" through various events in the Houston market.
