I am a change agent, a value enhancer and a servant-leader. I have years of experience in office administration and managment support. As an empathetic people person I work best in a team environment. In my spare time I self learn front-end development through various online courses. When I am not studying agile techniques or code, I am a freelance videographer and photographer as well as a dedicated mother. I'm a southern raised Hawaiian living in a suburb of Philadelphia. I love to travel and watch Netfix. My favorite thing is to hang out on the beach. It doesn't matter what beach as long as there is sand, sun and surf.
There are many benefits to adopting agile in the workplace. In the 13th Annual State of Agile Survey, statistics report orginizations utilizing agile improve team morale, project predictability, business/IT alignment and reduce project cost. Agile provides the ability to change and adapt priorites though empirical thought. I believe utilizing this type of mindset, tools and processes allows teams to think smarter not harder. Therefore, it provides increased value to end users as well as providing enhanced product managment, software quality and delivery.
I've learned Scrum Framwork in order to bring value and support to Development Teams, Product Owners & Managment. I am end user focused and passionate about coaching agile teams to success. I'm great at identifying problems and doing my best to eliminate impediments. I obsess over creating meaningful and fun Retrospectives. I am consistently inspecting and adapting, even in my own life. I learn and increase my skills through various online courses, listening to podcasts and reading books. Everyday I seek new ideas to bring value to an orginization in an agile way. It's my goal to specialize in coaching distributed teams.
