I manage high-volume dealership collision center operations, supervising and mentoring more than 10 technicians and support staff while consistently generating an average of $165K in monthly labor revenue and opening 250–300 repair orders per month.

I-CAR Certified, I write and audit estimates using CCC ONE, identify and negotiate DRP supplements, and oversee OEM parts procurement and vendor negotiations, leveraging tools like PartsTrader and experience with OEM, aftermarket, and LKQ parts.

I am results-oriented, skilled at managing DRP relationships, controlling costs, and improving customer satisfaction and retention through active production flow management and timely delivery.
