Program Manager | Risk & Compliance | Process Standardization & Improvement | Data Analysis

Hi! I’m Sara, and I’m looking for my next adventure.

I’m a Program Manager, with over 15 years experience managing programs and projects. Program management to me is all about keeping tabs on all the moving parts (detail-oriented), diving deep into the process and asking questions (cradle to grave mindset), and continuously asking if we are doing the right thing, in the best way. What I love most about being a Program Manager is that it provides the opportunity to wear multiple hats, to be a problem solver, and to often take on new challenges that allow me to learn new things.

Welcome to my website! Please be kind as this site is still under construction.

About Me


Skills

  • Problem-solver: I love playing detective and providing multiple solutions
  • Data Analysis: I love excel, learning new tools, and telling a story with data
  • Reliable and Consistent: I do what I say I will do, every time
  • Self-starter: everything is figure-out-able, any task assigned I will own until closure, and I require low-touch from management
  • Subject Matter Expert: in Risk, Compliance, Responsible Sourcing, EH&S
  • Process Standardization: Need someone to come in and clean up a mess, create a process map and SOP so that the program can increase in scope and efficiency? I’m up for the challenge
  • Process Improvement: Along with creating an SOP for a process or overall program, getting my hands dirty to identify the cracks and gaps where improvement opportunities hide is something I excel in.
  • Training and Mentorship: I take pride in onboarding new team members and serving as point of contact who people go to for help when they get stuck whether it’s a system issue, process question, or sensitive escalation that needs an extra review.

Values

  • Integrity: doing the right thing, even if it takes longer or requires more effort
  • Communication and Transparency: the keys to preventing breakdowns, I communicate often and early
  • Innovation and Creativity: opportunities to learn new things is what keeps me going; I embrace change
  • Collaboration: I believe collaboration strengthens teams and processes, delivering a better product and customer/client experience
