Rockstar Performer

Simply put. I get it done!

Communication

There is time to observe, a time to listen, a time to write, and a time to speak or express. Understanding people and communicating effectively is, even in the most difficult situations, what I'm known for.

Work Smarter

If something can be fixed, improved, or expedited while maintaining quality and without adversely affecting others; Then we won't wait until tomorrow to make those changes.

Leadership Ability

True operations leadership experience; transformational and servant leadership focus, P&L and CC management, DEI&B, & Culture Reformation

Collaboration

There is no "i" in "Team", but there is often a "Why?"; Helping groups collaborate to bridge gaps through understanding the greater impact and balancing workloads is something that I execute consistently

Work Harder

Sometimes you just need grit. No matter how effectively you plan and execute, there comes a time for hard work. No questions asked, we're in it together!
