About

I have had a rewarding career leading engineering and maintenance operations in the food manufacturing industry, I am taking time to reflect where I can make the greatest impact next. As an Engineering and Maintenance Leader, I’ve had the privilege of guiding diverse teams, strengthening plant reliability, and delivering large scale improvement initiatives. What I value most, however, is the opportunity to influence people, engaging teams, developing talent, and supporting individuals as they grow both professionally and personally. I believe exceptional performance starts with exceptional people. My leadership style is hands-on, collaborative, and grounded in a genuine commitment to helping others succeed. Whether partnering with maintenance technicians or cross-functional leaders, I focus on listening first, building trust, and leading with intention. I’m energized by environments where people, processes, and purpose come together. I’m exploring opportunities where I can continue contributing to meaningful and sustainable operational success.I
