I build repeatable workflows that deliver accurate, cross-functional operational results.

At American Rivers, I lead technology, facilities, records, and workspace initiatives that turn broad organizational needs into prioritized workstreams, schedules, vendor coordination, and measurable results.

I completed a records and workspace-readiness project across 19 file cabinets and 24 offices more than three months ahead of deadline while maintaining daily operations.

At the U.S. Department of State in Nairobi, I closed a multi-year inventory backlog of more than 10,000 accountable technology assets with less than 0.5% error. I also built a digital HR filing system for 2,000+ personnel records that improved retrieval time by 40%.

Across government, nonprofit, and private-sector operations, I create practical systems, SOPs, reporting processes, and corrective-action workflows that improve accuracy, continuity, and execution.
