What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead scalable, high-quality community service operations, build operational infrastructure, strengthen partnerships, and develop teams that can meet growing demand.

At The Ark, I lead food security operations across multiple service locations, guiding annual strategic planning, budgets, processes, and SOPs.

I oversee more than $800,000 in annual purchasing, inventory, procurement, and vendor relationships while reducing costs through operational improvements and expanded community partnerships. I've grown food distribution capacity through program development and infrastructure build-out, and I manage professional staff alongside volunteer workforces.

My earlier work with Feeding America and Food Recovery Network strengthened my commitment to food recovery, sustainability, and scalable community programs. I bring cross-functional, practical solutions to complex logistical challenges while keeping high-quality service at the center.
