Dynamic and results-driven professional with a strong background in Youth Program Management and a creative flair as a Freelance Makeup Artist.As a dedicated and passionate Program Director with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a Minor in Early Childhood/Childhood Education, I bring over eight years of diverse experience in program management, student and family engagement, and leadership within the Non-profit sector. My career journey has been rooted in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for youth, particularly at-risk populations, to thrive academically and socially.Throughout my experience at the YMCA of Greater NY, I successfully rebuilt underperforming sites by implementing data-driven strategies that not only improved program quality and safety but also engaged families in their children's education. My role involved managing sizable teams, overseeing operational budgets, and ensuring compliance with government contracts, achieving above-standard audit scores consistently across multiple years. As a Substitute Teacher at PS/MS 71 in the NYC Department of Education, I collaborated closely with Special Education professionals to enhance student performance in state tests, leading to a notable increase in scores.My passion for creativity and attention to detail in makeup artistry complements my analytical skills, allowing me to approach challenges with a unique perspective. I am currently seeking opportunities to leverage my project management expertise in a dynamic organization.
