What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote operations and project coordination work where I own procurement and documentation, coordinate vendors and crews, manage schedules and action items, and support compliant, high-stakes delivery.

I’m an operations and project support professional with 10+ years of leadership across public works, infrastructure, service operations, law enforcement, the U.S. Air Force, and nonprofit leadership. I’m known for accountability, independent problem-solving, organized follow-through, and clear communication in high-responsibility environments.

In municipal operations, I coordinated regulated landfill and roadway work by managing contractor coordination, workflows, schedule follow-up, site inspections, phased planning, and field documentation. I supported a $3.2 million landfill expansion and a $2.5 million roadway project while maintaining tight control of purchase orders, invoices, quotes, vendor documentation, production logs, and budget-tracking records.

I also bring a compliance-and-safety mindset from law enforcement and Air Force experience, where accurate documentation, legal/procedural standards, and risk awareness were essential. I implemented safety training and operational policies that reduced incidents and improved consistency and accountability on the job site.

Outside of core operations, I’m a nonprofit founder and community builder, developing mission, outreach strategy, partnerships, and event logistics. I use Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project, Teams, and SharePoint (with brief working exposure to Procore), and I’m targeting remote operations, project coordination, procurement, contract administration, or business support roles.
