Project Management

RE: Senior Project Management Opportunities

Dear Hiring Manager / Recruitment Specialist,

I recently relocated to the Houston, Texas area and am seeking a permanent, senior-level project management position with flexibility for remote, hybrid, or onsite work. With over 17 years of experience leading complex initiatives across energy, construction, and government sectors, including electric distribution, I bring a proven ability to deliver strategic outcomes through cross-functional collaboration and process excellence.

At Exelon Corporation, I served as a Senior Project Manager within the Distribution Program Management Office, overseeing two reliability programs across Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey. I led projects through their full lifecycle—from procurement to close-out—ensuring alignment with regulatory goals, budget compliance, and timely execution. My work supported multimillion-dollar capital programs and involved coordination with engineers, contractors, and senior leadership.

Throughout my career, I’ve built a strong track record in stakeholder engagement, contract administration, budget oversight, and quality assurance. I’m passionate about driving process improvement, fostering inclusive project environments, and delivering results that align with organizational values and customer expectations.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience can support your team’s goals. I can be reached at *********@**********.*** or 267-***-**** to explore current or upcoming opportunities.
