What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my higher education partnership, employer engagement, and data-driven account management experience to help institutional partners adopt programs, achieve measurable outcomes, and expand their impact.

At 10,000 Degrees, I manage strategic corporate and institutional partnerships with organizations including LinkedIn, Break Through Tech, and Girls Who Code. I guide partners from onboarding through renewal and expansion while demonstrating measurable impact and ROI.

I've grown a corporate and institutional partnership portfolio 4X, secured partnerships with approximately 50 California community colleges, and designed training, workshops, and webinars at scale. My LinkedIn webinars have engaged up to 1,000 participants per session, and I facilitate 20+ events each semester.

I've also led regional expansion, managed a team of four, and helped triple program locations across the San Francisco Bay Area. I bring 10+ years of higher education career services, employer engagement, Salesforce reporting, and bilingual English/Spanish relationship management.
