What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role where I can lead youth STEM and food-systems programming, secure and manage grants, build community partnerships, and grow equitable outreach for underserved youth.

I am a results-driven 4-H youth development professional with a Master of Public Administration in Environmental Sustainability and a decade-plus career at Rutgers Cooperative Extension. I have led county-level programming, served as PI/Co-PI/site coordinator on multi-million dollar grants, and developed STEM, food systems, climate, and healthy living education for underserved youth.

I recruit, train, and supervise staff, volunteers, and teen ambassadors, build university and community partnerships, and design program evaluation tools. My work has produced published research, national presentations, and numerous awards recognizing innovation, teamwork, and excellence in urban youth programming.
