Her Story
About Krista
I have been with Robert Half International for seven and a half years, working in Human Resources. As a Senior Project Manager in the HR PMO, I currently lead a global Workday project that is approaching Go Live in just 2 weeks. This has been a highly successful deployment, working smoothly across 6 different cross-functional teams and multiple IT teams. For this project, I wear many hats - serving as the project manager while also leading technical documentation and testing, change management, and deployment. I work on the corporate side of the house in a fully remote capacity, which allows me great flexibility. I'm fortunate to have a fantastic team around me, and the collaboration has been smooth sailing throughout this complex initiative.

The biggest opportunity in our field right now is the use of AI. I am in the process of taking some courses on how to integrate AI with project management online with the project management Institute
