What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead operations-focused teams where I can use data, coaching, process improvement, and Agile problem-solving to improve performance, develop future leaders, and deliver measurable business results.

I've led Panda Express and 5 Star Nutrition locations from underperformance to top rankings through coaching, KPI-driven decisions, and operational discipline.

At Panda Express, I grew Pooler average daily sales from roughly $7,500 to $9,000 and led Augusta operations generating $10,000 to $12,000 in daily sales. I helped move the Augusta restaurant from approximately #1,900 to the Top 100 of more than 2,500 locations nationwide.

At 5 Star Nutrition, I improved store rankings from 32nd to Top 15 in Shreveport and from 52nd to 21st in Hinesville within 60 days. I also contributed to more than $800K in annual revenue while developing employees into management roles.

I'm a Certified Scrum Master who brings Agile, Lean workflow, P&L analytics, forecasting, and servant leadership to frontline operations. I build capable teams, improve processes under pressure, and use data to turn goals into sustained performance.
