United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an operations and client-coordination professional with a proven track record improving processes, driving growth, and strengthening client and candidate relationships. I specialize in implementing tools and workflows that increase productivity and engagement.

As a contractor at Amazon I created an SOP cheat sheet that improved onboarding and reduced case processing time by 8%, while managing 150–200 cases concurrently. At Green Growth Brands I led training and operational strategy for the company’s Florida launch, achieving 60% growth above targets.
I am bilingual in Spanish and Portuguese, experienced with CRM tools including Salesforce, Crelate, and Workday, and skilled at team leadership, training, and client engagement. I bring a practical, metrics-driven approach to operational excellence and stakeholder satisfaction.
