What I'm looking for
As an Operations Specialist at Workforce Solutions Borderplex, I have honed my skills in managing government welfare job placement programs and ensuring compliance with various regulations. My role involves supervising pilot internships and coordinating large-scale events aimed at helping transitioning soldiers find employment. I thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at liaising between contractors and government agencies to ensure seamless operations.
Previously, I served as a Grant Administrator for the City of El Paso, where I managed multiple Community Development Block Grant projects totaling over $24 million. My responsibilities included analyzing reimbursement requests and monitoring construction projects to ensure compliance with federal regulations. I take pride in developing standardized processes that streamline communication and improve efficiency within the team.
In addition to my professional experience, I have a strong background in coaching and community leadership. As an Assistant Coach for the Women's Soccer team at Georgia College & State University, I planned summer camps and developed training sessions, while also managing team budgets and recruitment efforts. My commitment to fostering community engagement and supporting underrepresented voices drives my passion for public service.
