What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead sustainable development projects, drive community impact, optimize operations, and contribute to strategic planning and environmental compliance.

I am a project developer, environmental manager and strategic planner with over 10 years of outcome-oriented experience in strategic planning, project development and environmental management.

I have strong environmental skills including Environmental Impact Assessments, water resource and watershed management, wetland conservation and pollution control, and I have led teams to complete compliance audits and large community outreach programs.

In business development and client relations roles I mobilized 35 groups (700 members), optimized training to improve efficiency by up to 30%, created and managed project budgets achieving up to 30% savings, and analyzed 200+ client accounts to identify growth opportunities.

I combine data collection and analysis expertise with workflow optimization and stakeholder management to deliver sustainable, community-centered projects that improve operational efficiency and achieve measurable environmental and social outcomes.
