About Me.
Learn More About My Journey.
Hi there! My name is Ann Campea, I am a Certified Program/Project Manager, animal lover & a life-long learner from Southern California. I have a strong desire to help new or potential Project Managers who want to continuously improve their skills and am energized by helping them realize their goals in shifting industries and/or breaking into the field of Project Management.
​
A little bit more about my background & experience. I graduated from UC Riverside with a degree in Political Science/Public Service. The first few years of my professional career were spent working in the government sector. I later returned to school to obtain a Master's degree in Public Health from Cal State Fullerton. I also obtained my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, as well as a second Masters degree in Project Management from USC.
​
I spent some time teaching at Cal State Fullerton and am instructing courses at UC Riverside Extension on organizational leadership, as well as project management. I have always had a passion for working with students and those that are passionate about learning. Ultimately, a new career opportunity brought me out to Los Angeles, which I knew I had to seize. It was then that my strengths as a project manager took center stage and I haven't looked back since.
​
Fast forward, I have worked as a PM for major companies like Apple, Amazon, and Hasbro and in various fields ranging from public health, toy and manufacturing, operations and supply chain, design and development, product development, launching physical retail stores, e-commerce, and marketing.
​
I believe my collective and eclectic experiences in project management coupled with my commitment to life-long learning makes me an ideal Mentor for those seeking to build a career in Project Management. It excites me to see others' growth and development because I know that the more they learn, the more confident they can become in their craft.
