What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my strategic leadership skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on impactful program development and team collaboration.

I am a versatile Program Manager and Executive Leader with extensive experience in driving strategic initiatives across nonprofit, government, and private sectors. My proven ability to lead complex programs from design through execution is complemented by my expertise in financial oversight, stakeholder engagement, and data-informed program evaluation. As the Executive Director of a regional chapter of a national business association, I lead cross-functional teams, manage budgets exceeding $500K, and execute high-impact events and programs.

Throughout my career, I have developed long-term strategic plans, streamlined operations, and aligned programming with organizational goals. I am known for delivering measurable outcomes through collaborative leadership, rigorous analysis, and mission-driven execution. My experience includes overseeing significant budgets, managing award programs, and enhancing member engagement through proactive communication and value-driven programming.
