What I'm looking for

I seek a public‑sector communications or records role where I can apply records management, customer service, and process‑improvement skills while collaborating across teams.

I am a motivated communications and records professional with experience across K–12 districts and large organizations. I specialize in processing public records requests, updating websites, and delivering clear customer-facing communications.

I hold a Master of Information Systems Management with a concentration in Information Security and am a certified Public Records Officer since June 2022. At Tahoma, Kent, and Puyallup School Districts I managed public records workflows, wrote district newsletter articles, administered website content, and managed department purchases and budgets. My background also includes procurement work at Boeing, where I prepared reports, analyzed data, and contributed to workflow efficiency projects.

I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication and continuous process improvement; I am also a Notary Public. I look to apply my records management, administrative, and project coordination skills in public-sector communications teams.
