What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my project management skills while contributing to meaningful community initiatives and fostering team collaboration.

I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication and Digital Design from Jackson State University. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in project management, case management, and program implementation. I thrive in high-pressure environments, managing multiple tasks while maintaining a focus on quality and efficiency.

In my current role as a Housing Navigator at Sanctuary Of Hope, I build strong relationships with landlords and property owners, assisting clients in securing permanent housing. My previous experience as a Special Projects Manager at the Hinds County Sheriff Department involved managing diverse projects, enhancing community engagement through social media strategies, and coordinating events that foster community outreach. I am passionate about making a positive impact through effective communication and leadership.
