What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply analytical skills and disciplined project management—preferably in data-driven teams that value process improvement and professional growth.

I am a disciplined business professional with a strong analytical orientation and four years of U.S. Navy service as a Sonar Technician. I combine operational rigor from military service with formal business education, holding a bachelor's in Business (Entrepreneurship) and an associate degree.

My professional experience spans sonar operations, retail supervision, and AI data rating, where I consistently applied data analysis, logging, and quality-review skills to improve outcomes. I have trained junior personnel, managed store operations, and documented and analyzed high volumes of AI-related tasks.

Academically, I earned Dean's List recognition during my associate studies, completed a bachelor’s with coursework in Marketing Management, Financial Accounting, and Data Analysis, and I am pursuing an MBA with coursework including ERP (SAP) and Managerial Accounting.

I contribute to my community through tutoring and volunteering at a local back-to-school giveaway, and I bring strong project management, attention to detail, and a track record of improving processes and performance.
