Summary

I am a driven manager with 5 years of experience in operations. Throughout my career, I have led high-performing teams ranging from 5-10 personnel to over 60-80 individuals. I relished the chance to provide insights, devise processes to enhance operational efficiencies, and to recruit, train, mentor and empower my people throughout their careers.

I am excited about embracing new challenges, and committed to further developing my leadership skills to bring genuine value to future opportunities.
