Hands-on professional with expertise in ADAS calibration and mentoring.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and adaptable professional with a diverse career spanning the automotive, nonprofit, and hospitality industries. My journey has equipped me with a unique skill set, allowing me to excel in various roles, from calibrating advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to guiding youth aging out of foster care. I pride myself on my ability to provide precise, purpose-driven service, ensuring that I meet the needs of my clients and the communities I serve.
As the Owner/Operator of The Crash Pros, I specialize in on-site ADAS calibrations, diagnostics, and radar/lidar services for dealerships and collision centers. My commitment to delivering OEM-compliant calibrations has helped me build a strong reputation in the industry. I have successfully managed customer relationships, scheduling, and service documentation, all while ensuring compliance with industry standards. My previous experience as an auto damage adjuster has further honed my skills in negotiation, customer service, and regulatory compliance, allowing me to handle complex claims with accuracy and empathy.
In addition to my technical expertise, I have a passion for mentoring and supporting youth. As a Life Skills Trainer with Connected By 25, I provided essential coaching and workshops to help young individuals transition into independent adulthood. My work focused on building self-sufficiency and emotional resilience, ensuring that each youth had the tools they needed to succeed. I believe in the power of empathy and culturally competent care, and I strive to create holistic support plans that address the unique needs of each individual.
