Summary

I’m an enthusiastic, reliable, and committed individual with a strong work ethic. I have experience in the Delivery Lead and Scrum Master role when it comes to delivering strategic projects.


I have successfully gained accreditation as a Professional Scrum Master (PSM) and also Agile accreditations: (ICAgile Fundamentals/Product Owner). Combining these accreditations with my day-to-day role working closely in Agile Project Management environments has provided me with the confidence to deliver key project outcomes.


I’ve been involved in multiple successful projects over the last few years, both large and small. The most notable includes the implementation of Oranga Tamariki’s new Data Warehouse.


Working in both the public and private sector has also provided me to exposure to a wide array of skills all tailored towards ensuring that the businesses or clients’ needs are met each time.
