Transportation and logistics professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience spanning freight operations, carrier sales, capacity planning, and supply chain coordination. Throughout my career I have developed a reputation for learning quickly, building strong relationships, and finding smarter ways to move freight. I bring a collaborative approach to every team I join and a genuine drive to improve the processes around me. With a foundation built at U.S. Xpress and expanded at Expeditors, I am now looking to step into a supervisory role where I can mentor others and contribute at a higher level.
