What I'm looking for

I seek an operations or cultivation role where I can lead SOP development, leverage remote monitoring systems, train teams, and improve performance in a collaborative, process-driven environment.

I am a dedicated, tech-savvy cultivation and operations professional with experience managing remote facility systems, developing SOPs, and training teams across agricultural and healthcare environments.

At King City Gardens and prior roles I tracked plant health data, adjusted fertigation and climate programs, coordinated cross-department communication, and authored department-specific SOPs to improve efficiency and consistency.

I bring strong documentation discipline, customer-facing experience, HIPAA-compliant healthcare background, and a focus on process improvement to ensure reliable daily operations and measurable performance gains.
