01 / Leadership Profile

Operations leadership grounded in people, accountability, and service.

I lead by setting clear expectations, giving employees the tools and training to succeed, and building practical systems that improve consistency. My work connects daily custodial performance with the larger mission of a campus: safe spaces, successful events, reliable operations, and a positive experience for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

02 / SRJC Impact

Improving the system
while delivering the service.

Since joining Santa Rosa Junior College, I have focused on strengthening the foundation: people, routes, supplies, equipment, quality, safety, and communication. The result is a more consistent and accountable operation built to support a busy multi-location district.

01WORKFORCE PLANNING

Standardized routes & cross-training

Redesigned service routes across day and evening operations, building in cross-training, clearer coverage, and thoughtful transition options for employees.

02COST CONTROL

Stronger supply controls

Created campus-level inventory and usage tracking, moved toward centralized ordering, reduced excess closet stock, and established cleaner, safer storage standards.

03ASSET MANAGEMENT

Equipment reliability program

Launched equipment audits, asset tracking, preventive-maintenance practices, and clearer accountability to improve readiness and extend equipment life.

04FLOOR CARE

Gym-floor restoration

Led the team through finish removal, surface preparation, deep cleaning, and multiple finish coats—delivering a floor ready for practices, games, and major events.

Coordinated custodial readiness for 110 events, including commencements, concerts, student programs, and high-attendance campus activities.

06PROCESS DESIGN

25Live service framework

Developed custodial service choices and event requirements for 25Live so organizers can communicate setup, cleaning, and support needs more clearly.

07QUALITY CONTROL

Quality & accountability systems

Advanced QCR inspections, route metrics, consistent follow-up, and practical performance expectations to strengthen service quality across locations.

08OPERATIONAL CONTROL

Overtime & reporting visibility

Built real-time tracking formats for overtime, compensatory time, supplies, and operating activity—improving reporting, consistency, and decision-making.

09SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Safety-centered operations

Strengthened SDS/JHA practices, chemical separation, ergonomic support, hazardous-material awareness, and safety expectations in daily work.

10SERVICE DELIVERY

Campus responsiveness

Directs emergency response, deep cleaning, office and equipment moves, space reconfigurations, lamping, minor repairs, and facility issue reporting.
