Driven to improve all facets of operations management, I have built a career on leading transformative, positive change for organizations needing to adhere to rigorous regulatory standards. Along with gaining compliance certification, I’ve also worked to enhance customer-facing programs and negotiated and managed deals with global partners, Air China, Korean Air, and Swiss International Airlines. I excel at aligning operations to strategic outcomes that define an organization's vision. Throughout my career managing a premier flight school and state-of-the-art simulation centers, multimillion-dollar assets, and growing strategic partnership ecosystems, I learned the importance of creating collaborative, transparent relationships. Whether leading a team or interfacing with clients, I always prioritize establishing openness in goal setting, so everyone starts out and remains aligned on what needs to be done. Dually serving as an HR leader, I champion values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), tying DEI to employee engagement programs and the corporate mission. Growing up in and around aviation, I knew I wanted to study Aeronautical Science. Along with being a business leader, I am a pilot holding a U.S. FAA Airline Transport Pilot Multiengine Certificate with 10K+ total flight hours and current instructor licenses. My extensive Aviation background provides a solid base for all industries concerned with risk mitigation, safety, and impacts of regulation on operations. I’m passionate about promoting STEM skills to early learners as well as continually learning myself. I am a Certified Change Management Leader and HR Management Professional, with a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership. I also completed an Executive Training Program with the University of Virginia. I’m always open to networking and thought sharing – and can be reached by LinkedIn messenger or via email at nmrconsult21@gmail.com.
