Project Manager

Summary

I am a dedicated and certified Technical Project Manager with a rich background in school counseling, bringing six years of diverse experience to the table. My professional journey has been marked by a commitment to fostering student success through proactive counseling and innovative project management.

In my role as a School Counselor and Counseling Program Coordinator at Uplift Michigan Online School, I led a program that significantly enhanced student self-esteem and engagement, achieving a remarkable 25% and 30% increase, respectively. My meticulous attention to detail and effective collaboration with school officials resulted in a notable 10% increase in compliance rates for state testing and graduation processes.

During my tenure at Lapeer Community Schools, I successfully boosted student engagement by creating and delivering impactful lesson plans, resulting in a 25% increase in overall student participation. My ability to utilize PowerSchool data for precision interventions led to a 9% improvement in student academic performance.

As a Youth Domestic Violence Program Coordinator at YWCA Seattle, I initiated a robust youth engagement initiative that saw a 25% increase in participants reporting improved mental well-being. Through dynamic educational sessions and effective collaboration with community allies, I achieved a 15% increase in participant knowledge retention.

In addition to my counseling roles, I transitioned to the role of Operations Project Coordinator at Funds2Orgs, where I successfully coordinated and managed over 20 projects. Achieving a 90% on-time project delivery rate and a 95% adherence to budget constraints underscored my proficiency in project management.

I am a graduate of the University of California- Berkeley's Technical Project Management Bootcamp, solidifying my expertise in TPM principles and techniques. My project management accomplishments include leading the rollout of a digital learning management system school-wide and organizing online career fairs for high schoolers.

With certifications such as Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) and ongoing education in Technical Project Management from the University of California, I am well-equipped to navigate the intersection of education and technology. My commitment to excellence, adaptability, and proficiency in tools like Microsoft 365, JIRA, and Google Workspace positions me as a valuable asset in driving innovation and positive outcomes in the education sector.

Expectations

In my next role, I am eager to transition from my extensive experience as a Certified Technical Project Manager in school counseling towards a position that seamlessly integrates my background with the dynamic field of educational technology (ed-tech). I am seeking an opportunity that not only allows me to apply my expertise in project management, risk mitigation, and resource allocation but also provides a platform for further development in these areas within the ed-tech sector.

I am particularly excited about the prospect of leveraging my unique blend of skills to contribute meaningfully to projects that bridge the gap between education and technology. I aspire to take on challenging initiatives that will allow me to apply my understanding of counseling and student development in innovative ways, while also exploring new avenues for professional growth in project management within the ed-tech landscape.

The opportunity to contribute to the design and implementation of technology solutions that enhance the educational experience, as well as collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve project objectives, aligns seamlessly with my career goals. I am looking for a position that values proactive problem-solving, embraces a collaborative approach to project management, and offers a supportive environment where I can apply my insights from school counseling in a tech-driven context.
