What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead operations or compliance-focused work where I can optimize workflows, train teams, and ensure health, safety, and regulatory excellence in education or community settings.

I drive day-to-day operations and special projects with a proven focus on workflow optimization, compliance, and strong execution. I’ve led teams of 40+ professionals, collaborating with senior leadership on business functions, budget administration, and event scheduling.

I’m known for developing people and improving systems—training and mentoring new employees on operational procedures, maintaining accurate digital and physical records, and resolving issues through standardized processes. I also support onboarding users to online platforms and coordinate education-related documentation while ensuring institutional compliance.

In academic and safety-focused work, I prepare, sanitize, and equip laboratory environments so hands-on learning runs smoothly. As an Adjunct Lab Technician, I lead complex experiment setup across departments, enforce strict health and safety protocols aligned to DOHMH standards, and manage hazardous materials handling and disposal according to regulatory guidelines.

My background also strengthens my approach to compliance and communication: I conducted monthly site visits to ensure health, safety, and nutrition standards, documented regulatory updates, and maintained licensing compliance. Earlier, I led multilingual communications across multiple school sites—translating key materials into Spanish and creating emergency alerts, newsletters, and digital content aligned with DOE guidelines.
