Summary

I lead high-performing teams and drive measurable business outcomes across operations, talent management, and strategic planning. Most recently, I directed a 55-person restaurant operation that generated $5.1M in annual revenue while managing recruitment, retention, and career development programs for military personnel. With 20+ years of experience spanning food service management, HR operations, and workforce development, I excel at building teams, optimizing processes, and delivering results in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
