Describe how you started in project management

My strong organization skills and cross-functional stakeholder coordination in international sales let to a tailored operational associate role. Discovering my passion for project management, I took a course at NYU and received my CAPM certification.

 

What has been a project accomplishment or a challenge that you have overcome that you feel most proud of?

I am proud of implementing a custom Salesforce system while simultaneously helping establish the Account Management, Marketing, Sales Ops, and Research Ops functions. By providing a single system for all stakeholders to work from, rather than four different systems, I contributed to the company's cohesion despite remote work. Collaborating with all stakeholders was a key to this success.

 

What is one fun fact about you?

As an avid solo traveler, I witnessed the cherry blossoms in Japan last year and enjoy sharing tips from my experiences abroad.

Lori has a unique ability to balance the big picture while diving deep into the details, which she used to help me refine my financial management skills and ensure that every project I managed stayed on track and within budget.

Lori's guidance on budget forecasting, resource allocation, and cost optimization was invaluable.
