Summary

I am oddly enthusiastic about helping! I receive great joy from helping others. Whether it is customers in business, coworkers, mentoring others, coaching athletes or jumping in to wash dishes for the less fortunate - I'm "ALL IN!"


My work experience has given me a unique skillset. Hospitality has taught me world-class customer service. Employee Benefits provided me the ability to present complex plans to various audiences and attention to detail. Founder: Creating a successful SaaS company from ZERO taught me too many gains to list! Initiative Manager introduced me to large-scale cross-team collaboration and integration.
