My foundation in operations was shaped at Target Corporation, where I developed expertise in large-scale distribution and inventory management.I bring a unique combination of technical acumen and people-centered leadership. I hold dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business and Mathematical Sciences from the University at Albany, and earned an MBA from The College of Saint Rose, where I was a merit scholar and contributed as a data analyst on cross-functional academic projects.My passion lies in continuous improvement, team development, and building resilient operational systems. I thrive in mission-driven environments where innovation and accountability drive performance. I take pride in mentoring staff, fostering inclusive team cultures, and aligning day-to-day execution with long-term strategic goals.Outside of work, I stay involved in community initiatives, especially those supporting education and youth development in the Albany area and abroad.
