Tell us about your career leading up to your position with SAIM.

I’ve been in the aviation fuels industry for 20 years. I started on the reseller side before moving to the airline (buyer) side. Most recently, I worked for a software company as a SaaS provider that helps airlines with fuel management, direct operating costs, and other SaaS solutions.

What’s your favorite part about working in this industry?

The aviation industry has a global reach, but it is still small and close-knit. One of my favorite parts is getting to know all those people who help operate the world’s jet fuel supply.

Looking back at your career so far, what accomplishment are you most proud of?

I think SAIM is the culmination of my entire career. After working on both sides (seller and buyer) of commercial aviation as well as the general aviation space, I know the pain points and challenges our users face. All those experiences have brought me to this point.

What element of the SAIM digital platform has you most excited?

I’m excited about what the platform does for the industry in general – not only removing the pen and paper nature, but providing visibility into the condition and lifecycle of fuel infrastructure assets. The industry is getting to the stage where we’re not shying away from technology. SAIM helps with the manual process gap people are experiencing, making facilities more efficient.

In what ways have you seen SAIM serve the airlines in how they manage their critical fueling systems?

I saw SAIM at the beginning when the focus was on as-builts and scans. I’ve enjoyed seeing how it’s expanded to include maintenance capabilities, helping both the operators and airlines in managing their fueling systems more efficiently.

What are you most looking forward to with SAIM in 2026?

I’m looking forward to making connections with SAIM users this year and understanding how we can help support their operations, both today and into the future.

What drew you to wanting to begin your position with SAIM?

After working with Argus Consulting on projects in past positions, I knew the quality of work and the reputation the team has in the aviation fueling industry. The opportunity of getting to work with them, continuing to build on what’s already been established, and helping drive continued growth was really exciting to me.

Where can you be found when you’re not at work?

I’ll either be walking my dog with my wife, golfing, or watching sports.

What’s a fun fact about you?

I earned my Commercial Pilot certificate before I had ever flown on a commercial flight as a passenger.

In one sentence, describe the SAIM platform.

SAIM is your facility’s digital twin — all of the insight, none of the digging.

What does your role as Director of Business Analysis & Technology Operations entail?

I get to be a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. One minute I’m helping the team turn business needs into tech solutions, the next I’m making sure our projects and releases are running smoothly. Then, I might be answering support questions or building training so everyone feels comfortable. No two days look the same, and that’s what keeps it interesting.

What do you like most about your job?

It’s like solving puzzles every day. The project managers explain scenarios that pose problems we need to solve. Then, I get to ask questions and work with the team to come up with answers that will help us solve those problems. I am privileged to be the bridge between business and development, allowing me to work with many kinds of interesting people every day.

What element of the SAIM digital platform has you most excited?

What excites me most is our Digital Twin Module — it’s the heart of what makes us different. Everything you need is in one place; no more digging around. We’re also building predictive features to help spot issues before they become problems, and soon we’ll launch our Asset Map so you can see exactly where your moving assets are in real time.

What drew you to begin a career with SAIM?

I was drawn to SAIM because I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can solve problems and help people. I also knew I’d be joining a team where leadership truly values input, which made it the right fit from the start.

Where can you be found when you’re not at work?

Life outside of work is a mix of family time with my husband and our 14-year-old son, marathon training with the San Antonio Roadrunners, and plenty of yoga and meditation to keep me centered. Running helps me breathe easier, yoga keeps me from falling apart, and my family keeps me on my toes.
