My Work

I am a PMP & ITIL Certified Information Systems Project Manager with a passion for project management. My focus is in the area of information technology (IT)

The Project Management Institute (PMI) defines project management as “the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to a broad range of activities in order to meet the requirements of a particular project.” Formal projects exist in every industry worldwide, from automotive and construction, to aerospace and pharmaceuticals. I specialize in the area Information Technology Infrastrucure and Operations. My work usually involves coordinating project teams installing hardware, networks, telecommunication lines, and so forth.
