## About

```text
At Amazon, I lead day-to-day operations for 280+ associates, including 160+ direct reports. I helped my team set a building record with 823K units in a single day.

I develop cross-training programs and coach learning ambassadors who support new hire onboarding. I also review operational reports and work with HR, safety, robotics, and learning teams to improve workflows.

At Tennessee State University Football, I coordinated travel, lodging, and event logistics for players, staff, and stakeholders. At Tennessee Titans, I processed employee records and onboarding documentation, and at Pro-Tential Management I managed logistics for events including the Eddie George Celebrity Golf Classic.
