Dear Prospective Student,
I bring over 22 years of experience supporting complex engineering and defense programs, including my current role at Northrop Grumman. My academic background includes a Master of Science in Systems Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and a Master of Business Administration from Keller Graduate School of Management, along with an Associate’s degree in Laser Electro-Optics Technology. Throughout my career, I have applied systems thinking, project management, and business analysis to deliver mission-critical results in high-stakes environments.

I have extensive experience using Microsoft Project to manage large-scale program schedules, including projects with 35,000+ lines, integrating resources, dependencies, and risk management to ensure successful program execution. My expertise also spans Excel, systems engineering, business operations, and project management, allowing me to break down complex technical and business challenges into clear, actionable plans.

My approach to tutoring and mentoring is personalized, structured, and results-driven. I focus on understanding your goals, learning style, and current challenges, then tailor each session to build clarity, confidence, and practical skills. Whether you are learning Microsoft Project, mastering Excel, strengthening project management principles, or applying systems engineering concepts, my goal is to provide hands-on guidance and real-world insight so you can succeed academically and professionally.

I look forward to helping you!

I hold a Master of Business Administration focused on strategic planning, financial analysis, and organizational leadership, along with a Master’s degree in Systems Engineering. I bring 23 years of Department of Defense experience, applying both business and engineering principles to support complex missions, large-scale programs, and operational decision-making. Through graduate-level coursework and real-world application, I have developed expertise in data-driven analysis, systems modeling, process optimization, and integrated strategy development. This combination of advanced education and extensive DoD experience has equipped me with strong leadership, technical, and analytical skills to drive efficient, secure, and mission-focused outcomes.

Microsoft Project

I have 23+ years of DoD experience and 12 years of direct experience using Microsoft Project to manage complex Department of Defense (DoD) programs. This is including both development, maintenance and closeout of projects. My work has involved creating and maintaining schedules for large-scale projects, some exceeding 35,000 lines, ensuring timelines, resources, and milestones are accurately tracked. I specialize in advanced Microsoft Project techniques, including resource leveling, critical path analysis, and progress reporting to support decision-making and project success.
