What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining operations and compliance leadership with customer engagement, where I can optimize processes, train teams, and drive measurable revenue and retention improvements.

I am an operations and customer engagement professional with extensive experience in regulated retail and fulfillment environments, focusing on compliance, process optimization, and client retention. I consistently meet targets while improving operational accuracy and customer outcomes.

My background includes outbound sales, payroll processing, and operations management across cannabis, nonprofit, and retail sectors. I have hands-on experience with METRC and OMMA compliance, wholesale platforms like LeafLink, and point-of-sale and inventory systems.

I have delivered measurable improvements—raising payroll accuracy to 98.6%, increasing inventory efficiency by 20%, and boosting client revenue through upselling and outreach strategies. I also lead staff training, onboarding, and policy development to reduce turnover and improve team performance.

I bring technical proficiency in Salesforce, Gusto, Heartland, Flowhub, various POS systems, Microsoft and Google Suites, BI reporting, and basic HTML/CSS. I seek roles where I can apply compliance expertise, operations leadership, and customer-focused strategies to drive growth and operational excellence.
