What I'm looking for

I want an operations or property/hospitality role where I lead teams, improve processes, manage budgets, and deliver excellent customer service.

I am an operations-focused leader with over 20 years of experience across management, business ownership, hospitality, property services, and healthcare support. I consistently deliver strong supervision, budgeting, training, customer service, and administrative operations.

As the founder and operator of Postcard Perfect Cleaning & Yard Services, I managed finances, scheduling, client relations, and maintained high customer satisfaction and repeat business. In property and hospitality roles I trained staff, managed schedules and inventory, handled guest services and after-hours emergencies, and performed financial audits and reporting.

Previously, as Production & Shipping Manager and Area Trainer at P&M Garden Services, I supervised multiple crews, handled inventory and logistics, trained employees, and coordinated with brokers and retailers. My background demonstrates reliable leadership in fast-paced, customer-facing environments.

I hold coursework in Business Administration and certifications including OSHA 30, CORE, Food Handler, and Microsoft Office. I seek roles where I can apply operational leadership, team development, and process improvement to drive reliability and customer satisfaction.
