Work History
Logistics Manager
Food and Child Nutrition Services for Dallas ISD
Dallas
03.2017 - 04.2025
- I influenced the board to make district policy changes to add fire extinguishers to all district vehicles per DOT regulations.
- Also created the FCNS delivery Services.
- Pinpointed and corrected safety hazards and worked to improve them.
- I keep a part inventory of our most common parts and maintain a great working relationship with outside parts vendors.
- I have input into drivers/warehouse operations to improve daily functionality and efficiency.
- I have been very resourceful in maintaining a fleet of 41 vehicles using limited resources.
- I changed the preventive maintenance from once a year based on miles driven to twice a year based on actual truck hours used, which my research concluded that 15 hours of run time is the equivalent of 38 miles, showing the need for more diligent service plans to maintain the life of the vehicles.
- I am responsible for 32 employees including the 5 supervisors and 3 leads.
- I created a drivers app to access the daily deliveries with a GPS stamp at each site.
