What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support dynamic, mission-driven teams by coordinating complex projects, managing budgets/contracts, and building strong vendor and community partnerships—bringing organized planning, clear communication, and solutions-focused execution to achieve strategic goals.

I’m a result- and detail-oriented Project Coordinator with extensive experience in project coordination, program management, and vendor relations. In my current role, I coordinate collaborative efforts by managing correspondence, scheduling and hosting events, and leading logistics for culminating special events tied to division special projects. I also develop project coordination procedures, secure corporate/business partners through outreach, and deliver trainings and community presentations.

Previously, I served as a Youth Development Director at the YMCA of Greater Houston, collaborating with senior leadership and stakeholders to implement a grant-funded program. I monitored operational and administrative execution for recruitment, retention, and sustainability goals, overseeing financial projections and procurement for a federal grant exceeding $1M, while leading a diverse and inclusive team through coaching and quarterly check-ins. Earlier, I managed program design and community engagement through the CASE for Kids 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant, and as a Vendor Relations Specialist I led teams and managed relationships across multiple sites while overseeing project accounting and cost control.
