What I'm looking for

I seek a mission-driven role where I can lead program development, grow community partnerships, manage teams, and apply strategic communications and grantwriting to increase impact.

I am a mission-driven nonprofit leader with 10 years of experience in nonprofit, education, and arts settings, combining program development, public relations, and team cultivation to deliver inclusive, impactful outcomes.

At the Humane Society of Southern Arizona I developed strategic engagement plans, rebuilt a court-ordered education program that increased class utilization by 600%, led youth and literacy initiatives, managed a pet food pantry serving hundreds monthly, and delivered 150+ presentations annually.

I supervise staff and interns, run marketing and social media using tools like Canva and Wix, manage grantwriting and budgets, and direct community-facing arts programming—bringing strategic implementation, strong communication, and a collaborative leadership style to every role.
