Hello – I am a project management enthusiast, and the PMI OVOC has been my professional family for many years. I have 25yrs of work experience in the fields of project management, finance management and professional development.
Earlier in my career, I lead teams in client service and corporate business functions across several industries. I have now focused my efforts on teaching business skills – developing and delivering courses in the private, public, and post-secondary sectors. My course portfolio includes Leadership, Negotiation, Finance Management topics as well as a range of courses in the areas of Project Management & Business Analysis.
I am clear minded about the importance of structure and management processes but also understand that negotiation and interpersonal skills help teams create healthy and productive work environments.
I am interested in serving on the Board of Directors to:
Promote project management in the professional and educational communities of the Ottawa & Gatineau regions.
Stay informed about cutting edge developments in the project & program management fields.
Collaborate with like-minded individuals to serve our membership and expand my professional network.
I am the most qualified to serve on the Board of Directors for the following reasons:
I have served on the PMI-OVOC Board for 8yrs and have a good sense of its role within PMI Global and the local communities.
I served in the role of President, Treasurer, Outreach and Programs and have a good sense of how the strategic and operational activities in these and other Board positions can benefit the membership.
I understand the personal commitment required to serve as Board member and am willing to make that commitment.
I am mindful that working with a volunteer Board requires interpersonal skills as much as professional experience and I look forward to meeting and collaborating with new professionals.
