What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters community engagement and allows for strategic collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in stakeholder relations and event planning to make a meaningful impact.

I am a dynamic community relations professional with a proven track record in stakeholder engagement, event planning, and public representation. My strong relationship-building skills have allowed me to connect effectively with local industry leaders, nonprofit organizations, and community partners. I pride myself on being an accomplished public speaker and spokesperson, adept at developing stakeholder engagement strategies and executing large-scale events that resonate with audiences.

Currently, I serve as the Stewardship Coordinator at Lamar University, where I develop and implement strategic stakeholder engagement plans to enhance donor relations and community partnerships. My role involves organizing and managing logistics for donor appreciation events, ensuring seamless execution while overseeing budgets and timelines. I also design multi-channel communication strategies to increase engagement and visibility among donors and community leaders, collaborating with cross-functional teams to support stewardship initiatives.

My previous experience as the Director of Wellness & Informal Education at the YMCA of Southeast Texas allowed me to spearhead community engagement initiatives and foster relationships with local businesses and civic organizations. I am committed to fostering meaningful partnerships that advance organizational missions and am always seeking opportunities to grow and contribute positively to my community.
