What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fully remote role where I can work independently, solve problems, build strong customer or partner relationships, and improve processes. I’m interested in customer success, implementation, operations, and project coordination, especially with travel, hospitality, outdoor, conservation, or mission-driven companies.

I’m an operations and hospitality professional with experience in leadership, customer service, training, process improvement, and remote work. I currently serve as General Manager of a KOA campground, where I oversee an operation with 82 RV and tent sites, 22 cabins, approximately 10 employees, and roughly $978,000 in revenue during our six-month season. My responsibilities include customer experience, reservations, hiring and training, scheduling, purchasing, inventory, vendor relationships, budgeting support, issue resolution, and day-to-day operations.

During my time in this role, I’ve helped improve our KOA performance rating from 74 to 82, increased our quality assurance results from the low 90s to 98%, and maintained approximately 85% five-star guest reviews. I enjoy identifying problems, improving processes, helping customers, and finding practical ways to make an operation run more efficiently.

I also have previous remote experience as a Customer Service Training Coach, where I trained classes of approximately 25–30 employees and coached smaller groups on customer service, software workflows, and issue resolution. In addition, I have worked remotely in social media management since 2021, giving me several years of experience working independently and communicating with teams from a distance.

I’m interested in transitioning my operations and customer-facing experience into a fully remote role in customer success, implementation, operations, account or partner management, project coordination, onboarding, or customer experience. I’m especially interested in travel, hospitality technology, outdoor recreation, conservation, sustainability, and other mission-driven organizations, but I’m open to other industries where my experience is a strong fit.

I’m looking for a role where I can build relationships, solve problems, improve processes, learn new technology, and take ownership of my work. I’m comfortable working independently, managing competing priorities, communicating with customers and stakeholders, and learning new systems quickly.
