Education Double Bachelor of Science in Biology and of Engineering with a thorough foundation in analytics, project management, and leadership. I make it a commitment to grow my skills in research, problem solving, community service and team-building. I believe efficient teamwork is a commodity to reaching any goal. Helping others is a high priority of mine as I believe in the potential of others to advance society. Professional Experiences My collegiate research research involved understanding the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease and stem cell therapy sharpening my skills in research and data analysis. Post college, I completed multiple rotations for the operations management and leadership program at GE Healthcare helping to attain a skill in people/project management along with lean six sigma and process improvement. Currently, I work as an Operations and Process Manager in order to improve business process efficiency within the company. Entrepreneurial Experiences From an entrepreneurial standpoint and for leisure, I love investing and buying real estate and assets. I buy properties of my own and also manage properties for others. Customer satisfaction, quality products, and services are very important to me. If you are interesting in staying at one of my beach properties for vacation, learning how to invest in real estate and assets, or investing your money into my company please contact me so that I can direct you to my team.
