As a highly motivated and committed professional with over ten years of combined experience managing and leading operational efforts within a variety of environments, I seek to secure a position within a progressive organization where I can use my abilities and drive to:

·      Diligently analyze operational capabilities and implement strategies, systems, and procedures to enhance performance while maintaining focus on minimizing expenses and controlling costs. 

·      Effectively integrate technologies and develop policies to optimize project programs while enhancing profitability. 

·      Provide team members with the training, guidance, and motivation to exceed objectives while encouraging continuous learning, and develop high performance teams.

I am actively pursuing opportunities where I can merge my background in Maritime Operations and experience in Wind Energy into a role leading and developing Offshore Wind Energy projects and operations in the Americas. I am confident that my unique background and drive will make me an invaluable addition to any organization seeking to develop its projects and operations effectively in a sustainable environment.
