PROJECTS
I have experience administering large-scale programs and projects, which have focused on safety, security, operations, maintenance, asset management, system expansion, startup, and customer experience. Engaging a workforce to pursue a shared vision has contributed to my success. I work well under pressure and consider intricacy within a job to be beneficial.
