What I'm looking for

I seek a mission-driven role where I can lead cross-sector initiatives, build coalitions, drive data-informed strategy, and scale programs that create measurable social impact.

I am an impact-oriented project strategist with over 10 years of experience in program strategy, coalition building, and stakeholder engagement. I design data-informed plans, mitigate risks, build cross-sector networks, and use storytelling to secure funding and launch pilot initiatives.

I have led strategic planning and relationship management efforts that increased external program funding by 300%, streamlined nationwide pilot processes protecting 12,000+ people from eviction, and created compliance and operational frameworks used across organizations. I coach teams, optimize processes, and align stakeholders to drive measurable social impact.
