Charlotte Metro
With over 15 years of experience in Operations, Logistics, Facilities, and Project Management, I’ve had the privilege of working on a wide range of initiatives that drive organizational success and deliver meaningful results. Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted servant leader who is dedicated to getting things done within the framework of the operation and/or project. My approach is built on collaboration, strategy, and a focus on people. I’m passionate about aligning resources, managing priorities, and bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders in pursuit of exceeding project goals. Whether managing small teams or large, complex organizations, I’m driven to solve problems with innovative, resilient, and results-oriented solutions. In addition to my project management expertise, I have a strong background in B2B sales, with a focus on building lasting relationships and delivering exceptional outcomes for customers. My experience has taught me the importance of clear communication, coordination, and an unwavering commitment to delivering value. Having served in the U.S. Coast Guard, as an enlistee and officer, I bring the same sense of dedication and devotion that has shaped my career. I’m proud of my journey, and as a servant leader and veteran, I remain deeply committed to making an impact wherever I go.
