What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a dynamic operations professional with a proven track record of driving organizational growth, streamlining processes, and fostering collaborative work environments. My expertise lies in strategic planning, project management, and operational oversight, complemented by a strong foundation in financial administration and legal compliance. I am adept at implementing technology solutions that enhance productivity and align organizational practices with core values such as equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Throughout my career, I have successfully conceptualized and executed innovative solutions that improve efficiency and support sustainable initiatives. As the National Operations Director at All-Options, I developed a collaborative budgeting process that enhanced financial transparency and established a framework for future planning. My tenure at the University of Notre Dame further honed my skills in managing operational frameworks, where I doubled the annual number of programs and activities while ensuring financial stability and accountability.
