What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a program, project, or operations coordination role where I can build practical systems, support leadership and cross-functional teams, manage complex initiatives, and improve workflows that help organizations deliver meaningful results.

I've coordinated complex healthcare, education, outreach, and research initiatives at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU Health), managing 20+ concurrent projects annually from planning through execution.

I manage six-figure budgets, vendor services, timelines, logistics, stakeholder communications, and project documentation while partnering with physicians, researchers, executives, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders. I've built SOPs, dashboards, Excel tracking systems, and scalable workflows that improve project visibility, onboarding, and operational continuity.

Previously, I partnered with 47 local government organizations through the Virginia Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts to deliver statewide conferences, leadership programs, workshops, and virtual training. During COVID, I researched, tested, and implemented technology that enabled statewide virtual program delivery and trained stakeholders across Virginia.

Across environmental education, government partnerships, healthcare, and nonprofit work, I bring practical systems, responsive communication, and independent problem-solving to keep priorities moving forward.
