Hi, I’m Ulrike. This is my portfolio.

Welcome to my portfolio! Reflected within it is a wide array of projects that represent my growing body of work reflecting my strengths and skills as a professional. While projects may differ in what skill or topic is highlighted, the end result will still highlight the same thing: an intersection between my career strengths and what I've learned academically. 

My background.

My strengths lie in successful outcomes of complex projects that end on time and on budget, and implementing change smoothly and effectively. In addition to that I have a strong background with over a decade of managing the glow-up of others; I believe that good management cultivates the strengths and ideas of the team while providing a smart project framework (and safety net). In my role as Director of Financial Aid, I successfully managed $14 million in funding, project managed software integration launches, conducted gap analysis and implemented policy and procedure while I administered strict and changing government regulatory requirements. As an Operations Director in the Fitness and Wellness space I created retention practices, operations budgets, and brand experience. Working predominantly with small businesses and start ups, I have created entire onboarding projects, driven significant increases in customer revenue, worked as a consultant to launch studios or design staff trainings in complex compliance topics or customer service. 

I have also spent over 10 years as a trainer and coach, specializing in conveying complex topics into understandable information. As a consultant, I have worked with clients to train and prepare their staff and applications. My experience as a trainer led me to work with a variety of people and groups using SMART goals to achieve results. I believe soft skills such as emotional intelligence, communication, encouraging the strengths of others and ongoing coaching lead to success.

I’m open to roles in project management, organizational development, and in wellness spaces.
