Versatile Senior Interactive Project Manager, User Advociate, and Do-er
I am versed in all aspects of the software and website development life cycle and usability methodology. My dream job would be in a user-centric shop where features and products are designed to meet customer needs. I have a blue collar work ethic with white collar skills and have plied and parlayed the project management trade into several careers. I am not easily flummoxed, able to juggle multiple buildings in a single bound, and can hold my own in meetings or managing a staff.
