Operations and business leader with over 15 years of experience managing construction projects, sustainable agricultural enterprises, and large-scale residential operations. Leveraging a Ph.D. in Sport Psychology focused on behavior change and human motivation, I have applied behavioral science principles to real-world management challenges—enhancing team performance, motivating personnel, and fostering positive organizational culture across diverse sectors.
Throughout my career, I have translated psychological insights into actionable strategies: in construction, optimizing workflows and subcontractor coordination; in agriculture, guiding seasonal teams through complex production cycles while promoting sustainable and human-centered practices; and in residential property management, leading staff and streamlining operations to improve service quality and tenant satisfaction. This integration of behavioral science and hands-on operational leadership has consistently resulted in higher productivity, effective team collaboration, and measurable business growth.
