Over eight years of proactive leadership experience directing high-volume food manufacturing, advanced packaging, and warehouse operations.

Specifically seeking and prioritizing placement on 2nd or 3rd shifts to deliver dedicated, high-impact oversight during critical off-peak and overnight manufacturing windows.

Excel at managing plant-floor dynamics by merging data-driven KPIs with team-centered financial literacy frameworks like The Great Game of Business (GGOB). Rather than simply enforcing regulations, educate line workers on the precise financial metrics that drive shift success.
