From Strategy to Execution

I'm an operations leader who embeds within critical cross-functional initiatives to ensure strategic clarity and drive outcomes. My Industrial and Systems Engineering background from the University of Florida trained me to see systems, identify bottlenecks, and build frameworks that scale.

What sets me apart: I'm technical. I build the dashboards and automated reporting that surface insights to leadership. I write SQL to extract data, Python to automate workflows, and design executive-ready visualizations in Tableau and Power BI. Strategy is only as good as the data behind it.

"I serve as a control tower during periods of significant change—mapping impacts, driving alignment, and keeping stakeholders informed, accountable, and focused on results."

Areas of Expertise

Strategic Planning & Execution

Drive annual planning in collaboration with executive teams. Translate strategic objectives into actionable project plans, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes that the entire organization can rally around.

Data & Executive Reporting

Build dashboards and automated reporting pipelines using SQL, Python, Tableau, and Power BI. Transform raw data into executive-ready insights that drive decision-making and surface risks early.

Change Management & Alignment

Act as a control tower during organizational transformation. Facilitate cross-functional alignment across 200+ stakeholders, run executive forums, and drive a culture of transparency, urgency, and continuous improvement.
