About

What I Do: I am a high-performing Operations Director and process improvement expert passionate about reducing costs and delivering efficiency in everything I do. I have over 15 years of Operations experience working in roles that involve a field organization as well as store operations teams with analytics to execute high-priority Company projects. My Expertise Includes: 1. Strong retail operations knowledge and process improvement initiatives that focus on the customer, business, and employee development needs. 2. Excel at organizing and leading dynamic, high-impact projects from inception to completion, collaborating with cross-functional teams. 3. Developing reports and dashboards to help my business unit make well informed, data driven decisions. 4. Overseeing labor planning and analytics, including forecasting workforce needs and optimizing staffing levels to execute time sensitive projects. 5. Leading and developing high-performing individuals and teams Why I am Different: I give 100% to anything I do and go above and beyond with each task I am given, even if it is not part of my job to do so. When I work for a company, I do not just show up each day to collect a paycheck, I truly invest myself in the overall success of the Company. I am always trying to come up with ways to improve processes and business functions. Being chosen to be the first person in a new role in multiple companies has given me so much experience with solving complex problems and I am forever grateful. I pride myself on my servant leadership approach. My team is stronger when they can make informed decisions without me holding their hand each step of the way. It brings me so much joy when I can see that “lightbulb” moment when something clicks with someone on my team or when I am able to teach someone something new to help them be more efficient. What Others Say: My colleagues describe me as a driven, patient and insightful professional whose work ethic is unmatched. My ability to critically think through complex processes that involve many areas of the business is impressive.
