I effectively manage projects by influencing teams internally and externally. Working with diverse teams and major companies I strive to listen with empathy and understanding to keep all parties moving to the common goal.

I develop strategic plans through deep initial research and creative problem solving that frame a market's challenges to test product/market fit. Layering in interviews and market analytics, I sift the data to build accurate market need frameworks to identifying potential value for the company and clients.

- Strategy and Growth - Led company growth over four years to move into a broader market area while quadrupling revenue from 2016 to 2019 and developing a commercial construction division.- Project Leadership - Directed strategic initiatives to move the company into the luxury market, resulting in winning the top regional competition's People's Choice Award three years in a row. Developed the commercial division into a stand alone operation producing its own revenue cycles and functioning on its on supply chain.- Process Improvement - Collaborated across the company and partners to add value to the company. For instance, I built an in house ERP system, added a full time business manager, and negotiated major supply chain agreements leading to cost savings on every home.

- Project Management - I led all projects with revenue near or above $1M along with all operations and process improvements. This included website development, vendor negotiations, and marketing campaigns.- Agile Methodologies - Developed standards for kickoffs, daily standups, and weekly roundtables that promoted better communication across partners and vendors, reducing cost and improving project timelines.- Developing Relationships - I developed and maintained positive relationships to improve both supplier and customer relations. I sought out new vendors, and on-boarded selected companies, to add value to the company and the customer. This includes implementing new partnerships with companies both local and nationwide.

I started my career in some of the best kitchens in the country, including the 75th best restaurant in the world. I learned to manage diverse teams operating in high pressure situations, and I understood how to motivate a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. Working in the highest levels of hospitality, I learned how to push myself and encourage those around me while maintaining my humility and composure in the face of hungry customers and angry chefs. The hospitality industry taught me the fundamentals of vendor management, customer service, and employee engagement. There are few industries that can teach servant leadership and determination while presenting consistent opportunities for creativity and innovation. I strive to always bring that creative thinking to the problems presented in any environment.
