• Facilitation & Discovery Excellence: Highly skilled at leading interviews, observation sessions, and interactive workshops to uncover true business needs and unwritten operational steps, navigating ambiguity to clarify requirements even when documentation is scarce.

• Agile Collaboration: Experience working directly alongside Product Owners and Developers to translate complex operational habits into structured, clear technical specifications and user stories.

• Operational Versatility: Proven capability to juggle multiple parallel projects, coordinating effectively with large stakeholder groups and maintaining momentum across competing priorities.

• Empathy & Change Management: A patient, collaborative approach to guiding non-technical users through the transition away from familiar legacy tools.
