What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build strong customer and partner relationships, use data to uncover growth opportunities, and lead operational improvements across sales, fleet, and service experiences.

At GM Financial, I partner with GM dealerships and commercial customers to sell and support Fleet Solutions, spanning maintenance, fuel, and telematics. I provide dealership support across financing, funding, sales, and customer service while using data insights to identify growth opportunities.

Previously, I led 60–80 employees at Count On Horist, supporting the delivery of approximately 7,000 packages daily. I managed a 40+ vehicle fleet, built staffing operations through thousands of candidate interviews, and partnered with Amazon Operations to improve efficiency and performance.

My background also includes digital marketing, event operations, sponsorships, ticket sales, social media, and communications work with NOVA Home Loans, Arizona Bowl, ESPN, and University of Arizona Athletics.
