I’m looking for a remote business operations role where I can take ownership, solve problems, improve processes, and support leadership across the organization. I value autonomy, trust, and meaningful work, and I’m especially interested in organizations where I can use my broad experience across operations, HR, finance, and administration to make a measurable difference.

Business operations professional specializing in financial administration, HR, payroll, and process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced operations and administration professional with 20+ years of experience supporting organizations across software, nonprofit, staffing, insurance, franchise, and restaurant environments.
At Carr Engineering, I oversee day-to-day operations for a fully remote software company serving nonprofit organizations, with responsibilities spanning financial administration, customer billing, payroll, vendor relationships, and executive support. I’ve worked extensively with large-scale client and financial data, led audits to improve pricing, payment terms, sales-tax documentation, and CRM accuracy, and introduced solutions that have strengthened our remote operations and workflows.
Throughout my career, I’ve combined hands-on administrative expertise with process improvement, HR, payroll, accounting, compliance, and systems implementation. I particularly enjoy finding ways to make processes more efficient, bringing structure to complex administrative functions, and helping leadership turn ideas into practical, scalable solutions.
I’m at my best in roles where I can take ownership, solve problems, improve how things work, and serve as a reliable partner to leadership and the broader organization.
