About Me

Image

Results-driven Project Coordinator with over 15 years of leadership in operations, logistics, and event execution, now transitioning into formal project management. I bring deep experience managing cross-functional teams, driving complex timelines, and ensuring stakeholder alignment in high-pressure environments. Currently completing the Google Project Management Certificate and preparing for the CAPM exam, with growing fluency in Agile tools like Jira and Asana. My background in hospitality taught me how to adapt, communicate, and lead — skills that translate directly into project success. I'm seeking opportunities where I can immediately contribute to project outcomes while continuing to grow within a forward-thinking PMO or delivery team.

Luis is one of the best Banquet Captains I have worked with. He is a great asset to the Chase Park Plaza and I can always rest assured my event will go off without a hitch when he is my BC. Always smiling, making sure everything is correct, and quickly making changes when needed is exactly the type of banquet captain Luis is. As a planner, it can be quite difficult when problems arise and I feel he always anticipates what might go wrong and makes sure the event is wonderful from beginning to end. Luis is top notch!
