What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in a dynamic organization that values growth and innovation.

With over 13 years of experience as an Administrative and Operations Specialist, I have honed my skills in office administration, facilities coordination, and HVAC operations. My journey has equipped me with the ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage national accounts effectively. I pride myself on optimizing workflows and implementing robust systems that drive efficiency and profitability.

In my current role as Service Manager at Ampair, I oversee daily operations across more than 170 sites, ensuring compliance and managing budgets. My strategic thinking and analytical mindset have allowed me to deliver measurable outcomes, from preparing board-level reports to leading tender management processes. I am passionate about fostering strong client and stakeholder relationships while ensuring the highest standards of service delivery.
