What I'm looking for

I want my career to be a part of slowly rebuilding hope and kindness, doing something quiet, organized, and kind behind the scenes to create a powerful ripple effect.

At New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity, I manage purchasing, IT, facilities, fleet, and safety operations across our office and field sites. I created our company safety manuals and led the transition to a new company-wide phone system.

Before moving into purchasing and operations, I supervised construction and disaster recovery sites with New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity and All Hands & Hearts. I also bring experience in medical compliance audits, bank reconciliations, and hands-on patient care, along with a background in health science administration and business administration.
