Racine, Wisconsin, United States
As a former Transportation Manager at J.B. Hunt, I oversaw the daily operations and profitability of a fleet of 100+ drivers and trucks, ensuring safety, quality, and customer satisfaction. I also managed relationships with external carriers, provide training and support to drivers and employees, and fill in for various roles and projects as needed. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Supply Chain Management, where I earned the Titan National Scholar award and made the Honor Roll twice and Deans List once. I have also gained valuable experience in operations, planning, and logistics at Amazon, U.S. Bank, and Appvion. My core competencies include leadership, project management, and Microsoft Excel. I am always looking to make the next day better than the last and to learn new skills and strategies to optimize and improve the operations/transportation/manufacturing industry.
