@vilainelle
I build compassionate reproductive-health programs, teams, and community support systems.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently building stronger logistical and financial support systems for abortion seekers nationwide at The Brigid Alliance. I co-manage 13 coordinators, oversee practical-support and procedural-funding budgets, and use data and training to expand client capacity.
Previously, I created the Caller Support Program at Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project, developing volunteer pathways spanning abortion doula training, clinic escorts, comfort kits, and housing support. I managed the warmline, volunteers, budget, client database, outreach, statewide resources, and partner communications.
As a co-founder of Richmond Doula Project, I designed accessible doula training, mentorship, and full-spectrum care programs. I also built fundraising infrastructure to sustain doula salaries and trainings while leading parent education and mutual-aid events.
Across nonprofit management, family support, fundraising consulting, and youth programming, I bring 16+ years of experience managing complex projects, budgets exceeding $6 million, stakeholder relationships, and rapidly changing priorities with care and discretion.
