Shanna Bolandi
@shannabolandi
Business operations professional transitioning into family advocacy, drawing on firsthand autism advocacy and experience navigating IEPs and services.
What I'm looking for
At SCEND, I managed HR administration and weekly payroll for approximately 50 employees, while maintaining confidential records and coordinating onboarding. I also supported month-end accounting and helped resolve payment and documentation discrepancies.
As a parent advocate, I’ve navigated IEP meetings, therapy coordination, medical appointments, insurance challenges, and disability-related services for my son with autism. I researched programs and eligibility pathways and coordinated with schools, providers, and agencies.
At FREEDOM PEST, INC., I oversaw customer service, scheduling, and administrative operations, and managed payroll and billing. I’m transitioning into family advocacy and disability resource navigation, where I can help families understand resources, organize information, and navigate service systems.
