What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and coordinate grant-funded, educational, or community programs where I can manage budgets, reporting, evaluation, staff development, outreach, and participant outcomes.

I'm currently coordinating grants at Adventist Health, managing application reviews, budgets, expenditure reporting, evaluations, grant deliverables, and GrantVantage reporting. I create project calendars, monitor outcomes, and support partners, applicants, funders, and internal teams through complex grant processes.

Previously, I coordinated the Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials Career Development Award at VCU's Massey Cancer Center and scholarships at National Medical Fellowships. My earlier work leading educational enrichment and employment services at Asian Youth Center included program development, staff training, grant writing, budgeting, youth programming, and community outreach.
