What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my leadership skills in healthcare and non-profit sectors, fostering community engagement and program excellence.

As an Executive Director with extensive experience in healthcare management, I am dedicated to enhancing member knowledge and participation in their healthcare. Currently, I serve as a Care Coordinator Specialist at Wellsense, where I empower members with vital health information and resources tailored to their specific conditions.

My journey in non-profit management began with Autism Sprinter, Inc., where I have been instrumental in ensuring programmatic excellence and strategic goal achievement. I have a proven track record in fundraising, communications, and board development, which has significantly contributed to the organization's success.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Family Partner in Emergency Services and Team Leader at Quincy After School Child Care. My diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to support families in crisis and foster youth development, making a meaningful impact in the communities I serve.
