I am a master at working in the in-between spaces connecting ideas and people and putting together the puzzle of really complex problems.I'm an experienced project, program, and grant manager with a multifaceted skillset honed by scrappy and demanding creative non-profit and educational work. After 14 years in this space, I am interested in transferring these invaluable lessons to companies across cutting-edge industries and innovation, solving the problems of now and tomorrow. Need a project or program manager who can work on a deadline and a strict budget while staying flexible and fun? Send me a message!My praxis and research emerge at the nexus of the applied performing arts, education, social change, and community building with diverse populations. Always working to facilitate and support a more just and verdant future, I continue to learn, engage in challenging conversations, and seek to solve challenging issues with pizzaz. I have a data-informed but people-centered approach to everything I do - just last year I used landmark research for a target audience, determined their most pressing needs, and designed a program to prioritize those services with direct access for the community. Then I asked them for feedback, putting the design to the test with people's real stories and concerns. This combination of people-first and data in mind, allows me to find patterns and trends to make operations and processes run more smoothly or help programs scale quickly and take root in key communities.
