As a Program Manager at DISA, I oversee an $800M

end-to-end project execution.

My role spans a wide range of program management

functions, from developing Integrated Product Team Charters to managing Integrated Master Schedules

(IMS), procurement processes, cost, schedule, and risk oversight. I work closely with technical personnel to facilitate capability demonstrations, engage in

cybersecurity initiatives, and manage contract

execution. My collaboration extends to stakeholders such as the Defense Health Agency (DHA), Army,

Navy, Air Force, and Fourth Estate dod agencies. I apply methodologies such as force field analysis and the nominal group technique to build consensus and drive strategic decisions.
