My clear communication benefits both internal and client-facing teams, and I tailor project management methodologies to project needs, utilizing Agile, waterfall, and hybrid methods. I am committed to continuous learning and industry trends. I successfully oversee and manage project scope, risk, budgets, and schedules for diverse agreements spanning 3-month sprints to 18-month rollouts across corporate, government, and non-profit sectors. I lead interactive training events for multiple projects annually, ensuring efficient scheduling, coordination, and adherence to priorities. By facilitating team onboarding, communication, and logistics, I drive cohesive project delivery while enhancing stakeholder engagement, client satisfaction, and operational efficiency. I curated dashboards and automated reports tracking key aspects of franchise and multi-location operations, spanning content strategy, organic SEO, business listings, backlinking, reviews, and social media. Through translating intricate data into stakeholder-friendly snapshots, I facilitated top-tier customer experiences and collaborated with 16+ global team members to drive customized SEO growth plans and rapid customer response.
