Summary

Accomplished at Waste Management, I streamlined operations and enhanced team productivity, leveraging skills in troubleshooting malfunctions and employee supervision. My leadership significantly improved efficiency, achieving a notable transition to a silver corporate guideline level within a year. Expert in maintaining safety and compliance,

In April 2023, was offered position as District Fleet Manager for Waste Management in Raleigh NC.

During my time as Fleet Manager, took a shop with metrics not sustaining to a silver status after only 8 months.

Was there for 1 year and returned to Albany for lead position for Waste Management again due to family sickness here in the area.

I Foster a belief that a shop or business cant reach its true potential without the heart and drive of its employees. Given the chance to be heard, employees tend to take ownership and pride in what they are trying and being asked to do.
