What I'm looking for

I'm seeking operations, coordination, and program or community-support roles in healthcare and nonprofit organizations, plus select freelance writing and grant research projects. I want to build practical systems and communications that help mission-driven teams serve people well.

I've led operations and cross-functional coordination at Standard Process Inc., building SOPs, standardizing processes, and partnering with Compliance, Marketing, and Sales Operations in a regulated healthcare environment.

I also built All On The Table from the ground up, translating clinical nutrition science into practical education, delivering presentations for audiences of 100+, and coordinating contractors and chefs across corporate and private events. As a Fox Valley Magazine contributor, I made research-backed nutrition content accessible and worth reading.

I'm drawn to healthcare and nonprofit work where reliable systems, clear communication, and follow-through directly support people.
