What I'm looking for

I seek an operations or office leadership role where I can improve processes, ensure compliance, mentor teams, and drive measurable efficiency gains.

I am an operations manager who improves processes, drives compliance, and strengthens cross-functional collaboration to deliver measurable productivity gains.

At Classic Plains Construction I created an organized project database that streamlined decision-making and improved access to critical information across departments, while conducting audits to ensure financial accuracy.

Previously, I led operations at Accountants One, where I implemented process improvements and software rollouts, strengthened vendor relationships for better pricing, automated finance tasks with Excel, and supported internal audits and KPI reporting for senior management.

My background includes account coordination, recruitment support, executive assistance, office management, payroll and vendor contract negotiation; I bring practical problem-solving, strong communication, and a dedication to building engaged, empowering workplace cultures.
