How would your coworkers describe you? One word: “quick.”
Tell us about an exciting or interesting project you’ve worked on at Transmarine. Last year, I helped lead Transmarine through a lot of changes in order to get us up to date on our technology and refocus our company mission. I was proud to spearhead those initiatives with the talented Transmarine team, and after a full year of changes we are ready to take on new opportunities in 2024!
How long have you worked in the industry? I’ve worked in the shipping/logistics industry for 20 years.
What is your professional background before you started work at Transmarine? After graduating from Cal Maritime Academy, I sailed offshore, worked for a tugboat company, then was employed by another ship agency before signing on with Transmarine in 2023.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? I’m blessed with three kids, so my “free time” revolves around them and the activities they enjoy. I’m a Girl Scout Troop leader of 24 girls, on the board of my kids’ swim team, and involved in everything they want to do. We only get so much time with our children, and I want to take advantage of every special moment.
