About Me
Would you believe I wanted to be a lawyer in my youth? Yep… however, as you can see, things do not always go as planned.
I developed impeccable work ethic at a very young age. I got my first paying job at just six years old. I worked with my aunt who was a foreperson in public works. I would clean up trash off the side of the road and she’d pay me along with all the other adults after she evaluated the work completed.
In my teenage yrs., I worked with my dad building houses and helping him with projects assigned to him from the building block company he was developing. I also worked at the regional hospital with my mother; I worked in between both the health information department registering patients, or in the emergency room intake area-registering patients or taking them to see the doctors.
I started in the Banking industry as an entry-level analyst before taking some time off, temporarily, to finish my degree. After I graduated college, I started working as a Systems Analyst managing the Fiserv Float Pricing System.
I then obtained a Master of Science in Banking and Financial Management. Soon after graduation, I was promoted to the new Change Management Project Manager to manage a portfolio of projects supporting one of the largest technology transformations in the banking industry:

After 18 yrs. in Banking, I leaped to transition to a new industry – Pharmacy – as a project manager. I got into Project Management because of my willingness to go the extra mile. Customers’ needs, perceptions, and impact are at the forefront of everything I am involved in. I also like the excitement of researching and learning new things every day. Within 10 months, I transitioned completely to a Product Manager where I am responsible for managing multiple clinical products.
I’ve always considered innovation to be the key to any personal or organizational success. Ability to anticipate change in the industry, change in the client’s needs, and work backward to grow and develop.
