Bio
I am a data-driven, process improvement, and true-agile convert! As a Lead Development Project Manager at Cerner Corporation, I’ve worked with a lot of teams on agile projects and seen it all.

When not working on Security projects at Cerner or helping to coach teams, I am at the mercy of my twin three-year-olds.
