What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an operations, administration, or program leadership role where I can improve processes, manage budgets and compliance, develop staff, and build partnerships that strengthen organizational and community outcomes.

For more than 20 years, I've directed administrative and operational functions at Wyandanch–Wheatley Heights Ambulance Corporation, supporting a fast-paced emergency services organization. I oversee HR operations, workforce development, regulatory compliance, staff training, and a 24-vehicle fleet.

I've managed a $2 million annual budget, partnered with accountants on reporting and audits, and reduced annual operating expenses by 30% without sacrificing service quality. I also modernize policies, implement technology and process improvements, and build collaborative partnerships through community leadership.
