Project Management

Mobile: 713-***-**** Email: ************@*****.***

OBJECTIVE

I have over 15 years of Healthcare industry experience and in my most recent position I moved outside the Healthcare industry for an opportunity which provided me experience in operations and management. Utilizing my business analyst and project management experience I successfully managed a multi-million dollars privately owned company with monthly revenue over half a million dollars. My experience was multifaceted between managing 30-40 employees, HR over site, administrative and logistical management, operational standards and efficiency, Accounts Payable /Receivable controller, and financial budgeting and reporting. I believe this experience to be invaluable and transferable to any industry. My goal is to utilize all of my employment experience in a organization that can provide me with challenges and upward mobility.
