Carolie Nelson-Bonneville
@carolienelson-bonnev
Disaster recovery and program delivery leader with strategic planning and data analysis expertise.
What I'm looking for
I’m a disaster recovery and program delivery professional with a strong background in FEMA Public Assistance and response planning. I serve as a subject matter expert and point of contact, providing programmatic guidance, ensuring eligibility and compliance, and keeping recovery efforts aligned to timelines.
I build and execute integrated strategic plans that translate complex operational goals into clear milestones and coordinated execution. From chairing daily planning meetings and command staff briefings to maintaining strategic timelines and milestone reports, I help multi-agency teams stay focused on survivor-centric outcomes.
Across incident planning and logistics, I’ve developed operational products and tools—like Joint Incident Action Plans, Common Operating Picture briefing slides, and Excel-based operational snapshots—that improve visibility for diverse stakeholders. I also bring a people-first mindset, training and onboarding staff and maintaining a standards-based, HIPAA-compliant approach when supporting patient care and trauma-informed environments.
