What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Teacher's Assistant role where I can build trust with students and families, create supportive learning environments, use culturally responsive engagement, and contribute to student success while continuing my path into education.

I've coordinated complex behavioral health admissions at Fairview Health Services, improving placement turnaround times by 30% and helping raise patient satisfaction scores by 20% through stronger cross-functional workflows.

At Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies, I managed the full grant lifecycle across community-led portfolios, tracking more than $15M in active grants and piloting a documentation system that reduced team email volume by 25%.

My work at Metropolitan State University and in mental health staffing has centered on operational coordination, mentoring staff, culturally responsive engagement, and creating structured environments that support student and client success. I'm continuing my pathway into education as a Teacher's Assistant while bringing creative writing, community advocacy, and healing-circle facilitation into my work.
