I am a passionate and dynamic leader with over 15 years of experience in the tech (SaaS/DaaS) and higher education industries spearheading organizational initiatives focused on service excellence and professional growth. I have a proven track record driving operational efficiency, streamlining processes, optimizing products, and fostering client relationships. I am highly skilled at leading cross-functional teams and strategic collaboration, influencing continuous improvement, and delivering data-driven results. I am a self-driven and analytical professional who flourishes in ambiguity, managing chaos and building cohesion. I am personable, compassionate, and loyal, and a lifelong learner who influences and champions growth. I value people and a collaborative work environment. I have made a career out of problem solving, ownership, and relationships. Combining my people-centric philosophy and analytical skills with my extensive management background, I am able to maximize efficiency and outcomes in a team environment leveraging each member’s unique skills and abilities to support team objectives, client needs, and business goals.I am the youngest of 12 children and have spent my entire life learning and navigating diverse and complex dynamics. My upbringing instilled in me the value and necessity of hard work, passion, ownership, gratitude, and humility. These are my core values and represent who I am and what I bring to my professional career and personal life. I love family, community, and animals, especially my French Bulldog, Winifred “Winnie,” and snail, Mr. Light.
