What I'm looking for

I seek roles using my election administration and data operations experience where I can lead cross-functional projects, ensure compliance, and improve public-facing processes in a collaborative organization.

I am a project manager and data operations professional with deep experience in election administration, public records, and civic engagement. I have led national partnerships with state offices, directed research on election policy, and managed high-volume sensitive data requests while ensuring strict compliance.

I have overseen full project lifecycles—budgeting, strategic planning, timeline alignment, and cross-team coordination—across nonprofit, municipal, and data-management settings. I designed scalable training programs, grew volunteer networks, and executed medium- to large-scale civic events including high-turnout elections.

I bring a practical, compliance-first approach to program delivery, a background in communications, and a Google Project Management certificate. I am driven to improve voter access and organizational efficiency through clear processes, precise records management, and collaborative leadership.
