What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values employee wellness and operational efficiency, with opportunities for growth and development.

I am an organized and process-driven operations leader with over 10 years of experience in fleet management, employee wellness, and safety compliance. My proven ability to reduce costs and streamline systems has significantly elevated employee wellbeing through structured, data-backed programs. I am recognized for my exceptional organizational skills and my capacity to manage multiple priorities while consistently delivering high-quality results.

In my current role as Director of Health & Safety/Asset Management at Midwest Petroleum Equipment, I have developed and managed EHS programs, overseen compliance calendars, and regulated employee safety training. My previous positions have allowed me to optimize inventory across multiple warehouse locations and implement new order tracking systems that have drastically reduced errors and returns. I pride myself on my cross-functional execution and vendor negotiation skills, which have led to substantial cost savings for my employers.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to operational clarity and employee wellness. I am passionate about creating tailored wellness programs and challenges that meet the unique needs of employees. My goal is to continue leveraging my skills in a challenging environment where I can contribute to organizational success and employee satisfaction.
