What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in program or operations where I can develop staff, improve family engagement, manage budgets and compliance, and grow enrollment.

I am an operations-focused education and program leader with a decade of experience directing staff, designing curriculum, and managing day-to-day program logistics. I have led hiring, training, scheduling, payroll, billing, and compliance across early childhood and youth programs.

As Director of Gymnastics and Director of Operations, I developed lesson plans, created new programs and events, wrote proposals for equipment and staff development, and maintained strong parent and family communication to drive enrollment and program quality.

I am committed to staff development, operational excellence, and creating education-based programming that balances safety, engagement, and business needs. I bring strong communication, attention to detail, adaptability, and a consistent work ethic to every role.
