About Me

I bridge the gap between complex technical systems and the human dynamics of enterprise transformation. With over 30 years of hands-on experience spanning software engineering, DevOps, and project leadership. Backed by a Masters of Science in Organizational Change Leadership, Bachelors of Science in Computer Information Systems, and a certified Scrum Master (CSM) and Agile Coach (CAC). I founded AetherOps Project Consulting LLC to help organizations navigate massive shifts with clarity, speed, and delivery excellence. I have experience in various industries, such as state government, health care, financial life insurance and retirement, and K-12 education.

True organizational change requires more than just updated software or restructured timelines; it requires finding and unlocking value in every connection. My approach combines deeply rooted technical expertise with modern, people-first framework designs to ensure that when systems, processes, and people intersect, the result is sustainable growth.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking at home, genealogy, taking hike with my husband, and family gatherings.

AetherOps Project Consulting is grounded in three core values:

Agility – embracing change with adaptive frameworks

Communication – aligning vision with measurable outcomes

Equity – fostering inclusive collaboration and shared success
