I am a people-centered operations and risk leader with over two decades of experience leading teams, managing critical incidents, and improving organizational performance in high-pressure environments. My background includes incident management, training and workforce development, risk oversight, and practical problem-solving.I lead through communication, trust, and accountability. I am known for bringing people together around clear goals, developing talent, and translating lessons learned into practical improvements. My experience includes leading multi-unit teams, building organization-wide training programs, conducting workforce analyses, advising senior leaders, and managing sensitive internal investigations in close partnership with HR, legal, and executive leadership.I began my career as a Marine Corps officer and later advanced into senior law enforcement leadership roles, serving concurrently in both capacities before retiring from the military.
