How do you envision the new AZ Chapter fostering inclusivity and delivering meaningful value to all members?
I’m running for re-election as Board Director of Professional Development to continue building inclusive, high-impact programs that support project managers across Arizona. Over the past seven years, I’ve contributed to the growth of our professional development team from just 3 to over 40 volunteers, while helping launch initiatives like the DEI Program and PM Tools Academy. I also expanded our certification offerings by integrating CAPM and PMI-ACP tracks into the PMP Study Group.

My focus remains on growing teams, developing careers, and delivering relevant offerings that meet the evolving needs of our broader community.
