What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles where I can improve processes, train teammates, maintain safety and quality, and contribute to operational efficiency.

I have a track record of improving operational efficiency—contributing to a 27% improvement in model accuracy through meticulous data annotation and streamlining meal and cleaning workflows to reduce turnaround times and boost resident satisfaction.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, prioritize safety and organization, and communicate effectively with teams and customers. I train new staff, implement process improvements, and consistently meet performance standards while maintaining strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality service.
