I build systems, sites, and stories that move goals—Agile coaching, Squarespace development, and AI-native, human-voiced ghostwriting. Excel dashboard developer & Atlassian administrator.
I have a multidisciplinary practice delivering systems, sites, and stories that move organizational goals. With 28+ years across retail, technology, finance, and e-commerce, the focus is on measurable outcomes: faster delivery cycles, clearer communication, and content that earns trust.
Agile Coaching (SPC 6.0). Enterprise and growth-stage teams are guided to adopt Lean-Agile ways of working with rigor and empathy. Engagements emphasize alignment on outcomes, lightweight governance, reliable cadences, and transparent metrics. Experience spans SAFe, Scrum, and Kanban at team and program levels, including leadership enablement and cross-functional collaboration. The result is sustained throughput and healthier team dynamics—not theater, but practices that endure.
Squarespace Web Development. Modern, update-friendly websites are designed and configured so non-technical stakeholders can manage content in minutes. Information architecture, mobile-first UI, and clean typographic systems are prioritized over gimmicks. Where appropriate, dynamic content models (e.g., Books, Blog, Events) replace manual layouts to reduce maintenance risk and keep sites fast, accessible, and search-friendly.
Premium Ghostwriting (AI-native, human-voiced). Clear, research-literate writing for authority blogs, pillar pages, founder/editorial essays, and nonfiction samples. Workflow leverages AI for ideation and organization while preserving a human editorial voice. On mental-health topics, language is stigma-aware, culturally responsive, and educational in intent—grounded in credible sources and plain English.
Operations & Data Support. Execution is reinforced with Excel KPI dashboards that surface leading and lagging indicators at a glance, and with Atlassian administration (Jira/Confluence) to keep work visible, auditable, and aligned to outcomes. Tooling and taxonomy are kept simple to drive adoption.
Approach. Strategy is translated into artifacts teams can use the same day—roadmaps that clarify choices, web components that scale, and narratives that carry a distinct point of view. The style is concise, evidence-based, and audience-aware. Success is defined up front, tracked with transparent metrics, and reinforced through documentation that supports handover and continuity.
Key Competencies & strengths:
Cross-functional fluency across delivery, UX/CMS, and editorial.
Emphasis on measurable impact (cycle time, engagement, qualified demand).
Systems that favor maintainability over novelty.
Plain-language communication with executives, teams, and end users.
Credentials & tools. Scaled Agile Practice Consultant (SPC 6.0). SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, OKRs. Squarespace, WordPress (optional), Figma/Canva. Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, Notion, Google Workspace. Excel/Power Query for analytics and dashboards.
