What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a leadership role where I can grow sales, improve operations, build strong teams, and create excellent customer or student experiences.

I've led operations at Mathnasium and Sherwin-Williams, growing revenue, managing high-value accounts, and turning leads into customers. At Mathnasium, I manage account operations generating over $500,000 annually while improving enrollment, assessments, and student engagement.

At Sherwin-Williams, I increased sales volume from $2.7 million to $5.1 million in two years, managed more than 100 accounts, and earned Manager of the Year twice. I bring hands-on strength in hiring, training, budgeting, inventory, customer relationships, sales strategy, and financial management.
