Marie’s career began in the classroom, teaching the bright faces of 5th-grade students. A few fateful classroom experiences led her to develop a new role within her organization, spurring her introduction to the discipline of project management. After earning her PMP certification, she served her debut role as a project manager as the only woman in the company.
Today Marie supports the Department of Defense in the US Public Sector organization of Cisco. In her work, she links arms with her customers, bringing them into the Cisco family, and building top of the line solutions from start to finish in support of national interests.
Marie currently serves on the PMI Northern Utah Chapter Board of Directors as the Vice President of Finance. In this role, she oversees the financial and fiduciary responsibilities of the chapter. Outside of those efforts, she mentors early-in-career project managers and college students, encouraging them, and elevating project management practices locally and beyond.
