What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead program and operations work—managing data, grants, timelines, and stakeholder communication—while improving processes and supporting teams like the Quality Places Division.

I’m a Quality Places Specialist with hands-on experience managing the Kansas Community Empowerment (KCE) program—keeping membership data accurate, tracking grant activity and timelines, supporting annual enrollment, and coordinating outreach and communication.

I also provide lead support for the Quality Places Division (QPD), including coordinating meetings, booking travel, procuring software and supplies, submitting fiscal International Student Exchange forms, and administering grants. Previously, I led onsite event operations at Boomer Consulting, Inc., driving process improvement and building strong client relationships, and I earned Employee of the Quarter (Q2 2025) at the Kansas Department of Commerce.
