What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run day-to-day operations with clear safety and quality standards, lead teams, and deliver dependable customer/visitor service—potentially within park operations or related environmental work.

I’m a General Manager who’s managed daily operations for up to $16MM, supervising teams of up to 125 while keeping safety, sanitation, and customer service standards tight.

I’ve overseen cash handling, register reconciliation, deposits, purchasing, inventory, and operational reporting, and I’ve kept facilities clean and compliant through routine inspections and preventative maintenance planning.

More recently, I’ve been working as a Data Annotation Specialist, preparing detailed reports, managing workflow, and researching unfamiliar topics quickly—writing clearly and sticking to established standards and protocols.
