I grow service operations, manage logistics, and solve customer and operational problems.
What I'm looking for
At Gilbert Trash Service, I led sales and marketing, helping grow revenue from just under $330,000 in 2018 to $529,000 in 2025. I also managed route logistics, customer service, billing issues, cash-flow records in QuickBooks, and the sale and transition of the business to Star Waste.
I've worked across customer operations and financial development, including reviewing pharmacy prescription requests at Blue Cross Blue Shield MA and managing a rural micro-loan program in Zambia. I supported loan recipients as they launched businesses and created repayment plans designed to sustain future lending.
My background also includes marine science research, fisheries observation, aquaculture, agriculture, teaching, and community development. I bring practical experience collecting and analyzing field data, coordinating complex work, and working directly with customers and communities.
