## Built by an Operator, for Operators

***I've Been Where You Are***

I didn't start my career in a boardroom—I started behind the wheel. Since 2010, I've worked as a bus operator, scheduler, consultant, entrepreneur, and workforce advocate. Every lesson I've learned has reinforced one belief: bus operators have more potential than they're often given credit for. My goal is to help you discover new opportunities, build additional income, and grow your career—without waiting for seniority to define your future.
