Strong entrepreneurial spirit with a decade of sales and operational experience in restaurants, grocery, and distribution. Others seek me out when they need
thoughtful and strategic solutions to problems. I work cross-functionally with ease and enjoy the challenges of fast-paced and variable environments that
require an emphasis on building meaningful and lasting relationships.
