What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply end-to-end project and program management skills, drive operational efficiency, lead cross-functional teams, and scale impact in mission-driven or telecom environments.

I am a results-driven Project Coordinator and former Program Officer with experience managing telecommunication site deployments and leading nationwide behavior-change campaigns. I improved operational efficiency by 40% on a US government-backed campaign and coordinated over 30 telecommunication projects weekly across Southern and Northern California.

My strengths include end-to-end project coordination, vendor and subcontractor mobilization, inventory and asset management, financial documentation, and risk mitigation. I have designed capacity-building programs, managed grant and consultant tracking for 100+ engagements, and maintained a 95% proposal approval rating through clear, compelling proposals.

I combine legal training (Juris Doctor) with practical program management experience to deliver compliant, well-documented projects. I thrive in collaborative, mission-driven environments where strategic planning, operational efficiency, and stakeholder relationship management are priorities.
