Lafayette, Louisiana Metropolitan Area

About

I have a chemical engineering background with formal team leadership experience in the Chemicals and Oil and Gas industries. I enjoy being outgoing, social, and engaging in my customer and stakeholder interactions. My 10+ year career has been defined by building trust, identifying opportunities, and guiding stakeholders toward impactful solutions, regardless of my formal title; therefore, I made a career pivot in mid-2025 to leverage my extensive technical, operational, and managerial expertise to drive client satisfaction and revenue growth in an account management and sales role. I’m excited to build relationships and help customers unlock value!
