What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead community engagement and health education initiatives, grow partnerships and fundraising, and support vulnerable families with trauma-informed, outcomes-driven programs.

I am a Community Engagement Manager and Certified Community Health Worker focused on addressing social determinants of health and strengthening partnerships to improve outcomes for vulnerable urban populations.

I have led online fundraising, planned events, designed promotional materials, and cultivated donor and community partner relationships to support program sustainability.

As a Certified Community Health Worker and instructor, I developed tailored prenatal and postpartum education, connected clients to community services, and expanded resource networks while supervising and onboarding staff.

I combine community organizing, case management, health education, and trauma-informed care with practical skills in marketing, graphic design, and event management to deliver measurable community impact.
