Over the past 15+ years, I’ve led multimillion-dollar operations, built high-performing teams, and earned top regional and district recognition for leadership and service.What drives me is helping people and systems work better together. I’ve mentored dozens of team members into leadership roles, built cultures where people feel motivated to do their best, and driven measurable improvements in everything from compliance scores to customer satisfaction and bottom-line sales performance. Whether in healthcare or retail, I focus on structure, consistency, and collaboration, bringing teams together around clear goals and visible results.Now serving as Program Manager, Hospital Partnerships at OneLegacy—the nation’s largest organ, eye, and tissue recovery organization, I work closely with hospitals, physicians, and clinical teams to strengthen partnerships, improve donation outcomes, and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.I always enjoy connecting with professionals who share my commitment to teamwork, accountability, and growth.
