What I'm looking for

I want a hands-on role in a safety-focused, team-oriented organization where I can apply practical skills, grow into leadership, and deliver reliable customer service.

I am an adaptable operations professional with experience across security, automotive maintenance, pest control, retail management, and field installation roles. I progressed from entry-level positions to supervisory and assistant manager roles by delivering reliable, safety-focused performance at venues, stores, and on customer routes.

My background includes security supervision at high-profile events, hands-on automotive and tire service, residential and commercial pest control, and solar panel installations, complemented by retail leadership and coaching experience. I consistently apply strong customer communication, safety compliance, and quality control practices to improve outcomes and client satisfaction.

I seek to bring dependable leadership, practical technical skills, and a service-first mindset to a role where I can contribute immediately while growing into greater responsibility.
