Operations and quality-focused district manager who builds high-performing teams and drives revenue with data.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations manager who improves quality, builds teams, and delivers measurable growth through clear standards and data-driven decision-making. I’ve managed multi-site operations with a strong focus on execution, coaching, and accountability.
Most recently as a District Manager, I led a $2M, 30+ employee district across 3 locations—reducing production non-compliance to <3% while driving 13% YoY revenue growth. I increased revenue 6% by implementing digital ordering infrastructure and data-driven menu optimization, and I launched 3 new locations in 24 months using standardized hiring and operational playbooks.
I’m equally focused on operational rigor and people development. I maintained 0% employee turnover during site lead tenure by creating development programs and clear career progression pathways, and I’ve eliminated HACCP compliance backlogs by redesigning processes and standardizing documentation.
I also bring a project and analytics mindset, with recent CAPM and Certified Scrum Master credentials plus Google Data Analytics certification. I use Python, SQL, Tableau, and tools like BigQuery to turn operational data into forecasting, inventory optimization, and continuous process improvement.
