What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values data-driven decision-making and animal welfare.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in data coordination and operations management within the animal welfare sector. My role as a Data Coordinator at Project Chimps allowed me to hone my skills in data analysis and donor relations, where I successfully managed and analyzed data to improve fundraising efforts and donor retention. I take pride in maintaining data integrity and compliance, ensuring that all reporting activities adhere to privacy standards.

Previously, as an Operations Manager at Mountain Shelter Humane Society, I oversaw daily operations, managed budgets, and led a multidisciplinary team to ensure high standards of animal care. My leadership in developing data-driven strategies significantly improved shelter workflow and animal outcomes. I have a strong background in public outreach and education, fostering community engagement and responsible pet ownership.
