To Whom it May Concern
Your search for an experienced land professional / project manager with strong background in projects and
operations ends here. I have an excellent and proven track record in all areas of senior land administration and
project management combined with flexibility and professional drive.
In my last position as Project Manager (Land Data Management Strategy) at Access Pipeline I was responsible
for building the process and procedures for an Internal Land Group. I was responsible for Database
Implementation and Administration of a newly designed database to house and track all pipeline projects and
lease assets from a land, stakeholder and environmental perspective. This project resulted in a set of processes
and procedures being created and implemented and training manuals developed. Training was then delivered to
land group personnel. In addition all historical projects and assets were audited and any deficiencies tracked for
further work. The company was left with a completely configured and operational database system, and the tools
and knowledge to move forward in a positive and proactive (rather than reactive) fashion.
Previous experience in my portfolio includes IT/Database Administration, Configuration and Implementation,
Construction (design/build projects, major and minor renovations and new house builds).
I am an avid community and non-profit supporter and volunteer for several organizations which has given me
unique views into the communities in which we live and work.
My resume follows and I would appreciate a formal meeting at your earliest convenience. Further information on
my skill set, experience and education can be found at:

I look forward to discussing how I can meet your needs and I welcome the opportunity to contribute my skills to
your team.
Sincerely Yours,
