What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on project and operations management where I can streamline workflows, improve efficiency, lead cross-functional teams, and contribute to strategic growth.

I am a results-oriented project manager and business operations professional with experience in project planning, scheduling, and cross-functional coordination across service and appraisal industries. I hold a Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship degree with minors in Economics and Agricultural Business, graduating with a 3.73 GPA.

My background includes completing a rotational management trainee program where I supported operations, team management, inventory control, route coordination, and client-facing activities, and leading reroute and operational-efficiency initiatives. I also coordinated national mortgage appraisals and managed complex logistics across multiple states.

I bring strong communication, risk and scope management, and workflow-streamlining skills, coupled with leadership experience as an academic chair and peer mentor. I seek roles where I can improve processes, deliver projects on time and within budget, and contribute to strategic business growth.
