What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a leadership role where I can apply archival expertise, process improvement, and executive support in a collaborative, mission-driven organization that values clear SOPs and measurable efficiency gains.

I have over 30 years of experience in archival management, administrative reporting, and process improvement, consistently streamlining workflows and improving operational efficiency. I supervised archival teams, led declassification reviews and FOIA processes, and served at the GS-12 level while managing budgets and executive support functions. My work has driven measurable results, including a 30% reduction in turnaround time and a 25% improvement in reporting accuracy.

I plan and execute projects within an Agile framework, develop SOPs, and implement tools like Smartsheet to enhance tracking and metrics. I enjoy coordinating cross-functional initiatives and enabling leaders to focus on strategic priorities by delivering precise reporting, calendar management, and program-level oversight.
