Summary

With 9 years of experience in the scuba diving, travel, retail, and equipment repair industry, I've had the privilege of managing one of the largest scuba equipment service shops in the United States. I specialize in operations management, equipment servicing, and logistics, having overseen government contracts like The NOAA Diving Program for over six years. My background includes managing inventories for multiple manufactures, streamlining workflows, and ensuring safety and precision in every service performed. Beyond my technical expertise, I am a natural problem solver with a drive for adventure and innovation. I believe in the value of hard work, organization, and providing top-tier service, all while staying true to my purpose of creating a fulfilling and authentic life. In addition to my professional background, I have a creative side that fuels my love for music and building connections. As a lifelong learner, I constantly seek out new challenges and opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Whether it's improving processes, building meaningful relationships, or creating something tangible and beautiful, I bring focus, determination, and a positive mindset to everything I do. I'm driven by the belief that abundance, success, and happiness come from doing work that aligns with purpose and values-and I aim to bring this philosophy into every endeavor.
