What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values strategic project execution and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a results-driven professional with over 10 years of experience leading cross-functional teams and managing complex, multi-million-dollar projects across diverse industries. My approach is product-first, combining strategic project execution, business acumen, and a deep understanding of customer needs to drive impactful, market-aligned solutions.

In my current role as a Program Manager at GER, I spearheaded business development efforts that laid the foundation for a projected $30M operational expansion. I have successfully designed and implemented core functions for our California office, enabling program delivery to over 3,000 wildfire survivors. My ability to raise $5M in new funding through data-backed pitches and program design showcases my commitment to aligning our initiatives with community priorities.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my capacity to manage multiple projects simultaneously, from directing the reconstruction of schools and homes in The Bahamas to co-founding a successful restaurant in South Carolina. My diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex challenges and deliver high-quality results that exceed expectations.
