What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my analytical skills in emergency management and data analysis, fostering collaboration and innovation.

I am a dedicated project lead with a strong background in data analysis and emergency management. Currently, I work with the Florida Department of Children and Families, where I analyze state program data to enhance program improvements and ensure compliance with federal regulations. My role involves creating detailed reports and process documentation to support leadership decisions, and I have successfully managed teams during emergency response operations, supervising up to 40 workers.

In addition to my current position, I have experience with Anderquez LLC, where I support crisis communications and emergency planning. My involvement in FEMA Type 1 NIMS training exercises has equipped me with the skills necessary for effective multi-agency coordination. I also have a solid academic foundation, having served as a research assistant at the University of West Florida, where I applied advanced data analysis techniques to legislative research projects.
