Community engagement and program operations leader improving access, engagement, and well-being through data-informed initiatives.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a community-centered leader with 8+ years of experience designing and implementing programs that improve access, engagement, and well-being across education, public health, and youth development spaces.
At Valor Collegiate Academies, I designed outreach strategies that increased enrollment diversity by 30% and led process improvement initiatives that increased enrollment efficiency by 15% through workflow redesign and feedback integration. I also manage daily operations for student transportation systems, strengthen family and community partnerships, and support executive leadership (COO) with organization-wide operations and event planning across a 250+ staff organization.
I bring an equity-driven, culturally responsive approach to measurable impact—whether coordinating health initiatives (including 99% accuracy in record-keeping using Excel and G-Suite) or running a youth program that increased participation by 122%. As a Certified Doula & Community Lactation Educator (2024–Present), I provide culturally responsive birth and postpartum support using trauma-informed care, collaborating with midwives and community health professionals to expand access to maternal health services.
