Seasoned expertise,
without the overhead.

With over a decade leading marketing and media projects for agencies, corporations, and fast-moving teams, I bring senior-level project management exactly when and where you need it — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

Based in Orange County and deeply familiar with the SoCal business landscape, I also work seamlessly with distributed teams across time zones. If your team needs someone to step in, take ownership, and deliver — I'm ready.

"I don't just manage tasks — I manage clarity, momentum, and outcomes. Your team stays creative; I keep everything moving."
— Mari Soltero, PMP · CSM · CSPO

Flexible engagement,
real results.

From short-term contract work to ongoing fractional support, I embed with your team and hit the ground running — no ramp-up time, no hand-holding required.

01.

Marketing Campaign Management

End-to-end project management for omni-channel campaigns — digital advertising, email, social, video, influencer, and print — from kickoff through final delivery.

02.

Fractional PM Support

Need consistent project leadership without a full-time hire? I embed as your fractional PM — owning schedules, stakeholder communication, and delivery milestones.

03.

Website & Digital Launches

Coordinating design, development, content, and QA teams to deliver website updates and digital products on time, on spec, and on budget.

04.

Agency & Creative Team PM

Bridging the gap between creative leads, production teams, and clients — providing structure, documentation, and clear communication without slowing momentum.

05.

Process & Tooling Setup

Implementing or optimizing PM workflows in Asana, Monday.com, Jira, Trello, or the tools your team already uses — building systems that stick.

06.

Reporting & Stakeholder Comms

Keeping leadership informed with clear status reports, escalation management, and documentation that protects everyone and keeps projects on track.

Modern methods,
proven instincts.

Certified in both traditional and agile methodologies, I'm fluent in the tools your team is already using — and the ones you're considering.
