About

Houston native with over 10 years of experience in Supply Chain and Logistics, with a focus on rail transportation. Currently serving as a Rail Operations Specialist at Chevron Phillips Chemical, managing and optimizing rail shipments across the network. Previously at Chevron Phillips, I worked in multiple roles, including handling bulk truck shipments on the Terminal LAC team, coordinating product movements from our terminals, and serving on the Batch LAC Desk, managing outbound shipments from the plant to ensure timely and accurate distribution. Earlier in my career, I worked at Bourque Logistics, providing third-party rail services and logistics software support to customers across the industry. My career began in 2013 when I worked on a political campaign as the Executive Assistant to the nominee. In this fast-paced role, I coordinated receptions and fundraising events, managed the donor database and campaign cash accounts, assisted with campaign finance reporting, arranged travel, and supported daily operations. It was a dynamic introduction to the professional world and an invaluable steppingstone that sharpened my organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills early in my career. Passionate about operational efficiency, problem-solving, and delivering seamless freight solutions in a fast-paced, evolving supply chain environment.
