What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic organization that values expertise in environmental compliance and offers opportunities for career growth.

I am a highly motivated and results-oriented professional with over a decade of experience in environmental services, land development permitting, remote property acquisition, operations management, and successful sales and client relationship management. My proven ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and streamline processes has allowed me to conduct thorough due diligence while fostering effective communication across diverse stakeholders.

In my current role as a Remote Payroll HR Coordinator at Safe Place AMLLC, I lead the identification and coordination of property acquisitions, ensuring alignment with project development goals. I manage end-to-end remote payroll operations, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations. My previous experience as an Operations Specialist and Building Permitting Coordinator has equipped me with the skills to oversee daily operational activities and expedite permitting processes, enhancing efficiency and compliance.
