Turn scattered spreadsheets, invoices, and accounting data into clear reporting on costs, margins, and job or client performance — so decisions are based on what's actually happening, not a guess.
Find where time and money are actually leaking — a bottleneck, a manual step, a hand-off that keeps breaking — and correct it at the root, not just the symptom.
Automate the recurring reporting, payroll, and document work that currently depends on one person remembering to do it — so the business can grow without every task routing through the owner.
Analytical and versatile professional with 16+ years of experience across business management, data analysis, education, operations, and construction management. Skilled in collaborating with stakeholders, driving data-informed decisions, and leading cross-functional projects from planning through execution.
Known for optimizing processes, automating workflows, and delivering actionable insights that improve efficiency and outcomes.
Sixteen years across five very different organizations — read together as a strategist would: not as a job list, but as a set of proven capabilities, each backed by where it was actually put to use.
Ran the full operating engine of a business — payroll, AP/AR, insurance, scheduling, and compliance — and coordinated contractors and crews to keep high-pressure projects on schedule.
Six Sigma Lean Black Belt with a track record of finding the root cause of a production or workflow problem and fixing it — not just patching the symptom — across manufacturing, education, and contracting environments. At Terre Haute South Vigo, this meant redesigning how graduation and compliance data was collected and reported, automating it through Google Suite instead of manual tracking.
Configured accounting systems for real-time job costing and profitability reporting, and automated recurring payroll and reporting work — building the numbers infrastructure an owner actually relies on.
Led cross-functional meetings and communications across very different audiences — families, staff, administrators, subcontractors, and crews — and delivered training that changed how a team worked.
