Hometown:  Shelpy Twp, MI Office Location:  Chicago, IL Start Date:  July 2022  Job title:  Agile Delivery Lead

Describe your role.

I’m an Agile Delivery Lead in the Measurement & Data Collaboration space. I work with engineering and data science development teams to build up their team processes as they break down work from requirements to delivery. I also work with the larger domains and leadership to help with processes around dependency management, prioritization, tooling standards, and plenty of other improvement opportunities.

What do you like to do in your free time outside of work hours?

Being in Chicago there’s so many options for what I get up to. Volleyball leagues, pickleball leagues, and a good patio bar in the summer. I took up sailing a couple years ago and have loved doing that when I can get out on the lake.

If I’m not doing any of those though I’m a huge self-proclaimed nerd and you can find me playing any sort of board game or video game in my downtime.
