I am a seasoned professional with 19+ years of operations management and team leadership experience in diverse sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for public relations, as well as for financial administration and strategic planning. Professional focal points include program management, departmental oversight, regulatory compliance, project management, facility management, and partner relations. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as problem solving, critical thinking, decision making, and time management to support efficiency and optimal results. Currently, I am the Assistant Adjutant General with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Under my leadership, I monitor and oversee all daily activities across numerous departments, such as Administrative Operations, VFW Programs, Member Service Center, Information Technology, Development, and General Service, while managing issues related to the Congressional Charter and National By-Laws. I also oversee the issuance of officer and delegate credentials for the National Convention and the National Awards and Citations. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the operations support structure is driving the organization forward with minimal obstacles.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, public relations and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver desirable results on time and under budget.I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
