I build scalable operations, people systems, and workflows for multi-site teams.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to make operations work for a growing organization by designing practical workflows, people systems, knowledge bases, and automations that help teams scale without losing clarity or business goals.

I built the operational backbone of PROSTO, a city-funded network of seven education and community spaces, progressing from content manager to Deputy Director of Operations through five promotions. I oversaw 25+ people across operations, programs, communications, and HR; led a legal and structural reorganization with zero staff attrition or program downtime; and managed a ~$180K annual program budget.

I design workflows, SOPs, knowledge bases, hiring pipelines, KPI frameworks, and AI-powered automations that reduce operational load. My teams delivered 300+ projects annually, scaled a grant program to 173 winners and approximately $850K secured, and grew PROSTO’s audience from 20K to 80K followers in nine months.
