What I'm looking for

I'm seeking program management, director-level, or adjacent roles in nonprofit, higher education, edtech, or community-facing organizations where I can build equitable, trauma-informed systems and strengthen outcomes for communities.

At Community LINC, I designed and led trauma-informed programs for children, youth, and families, combining social-emotional learning, curriculum development, crisis support, and community engagement. I built partnerships with 40+ organizations, supervised 15+ staff and volunteers, and helped lead fundraising and seasonal initiatives serving 100+ families annually.

I've also supported undergraduate education students at UMKC and taught elementary students through culturally responsive, data-informed instruction. I bring an equity-centered approach to program systems, staff development, family partnership, and measurable community outcomes.
