About

I started my career in the U.S. Air Force, where I led teams, managed global logistics operations, and learned how to keep missions moving under pressure. Those experiences shaped how I approach work today—through structure, clear communication, and continuous improvement. I’m now an Operations Management student at the University of Cincinnati, building on that foundation through coursework and hands‑on experience. I’m especially interested in supply chain and operations roles that blend problem‑solving and process efficiency. I recently accepted a co‑op with GE Appliances and am working toward completing my BBA in December 2027. I’m always open to connecting with others in operations, supply chain, and manufacturing.
