From my first community service experience in high school, I became profoundly aware of the important role that nonprofits play in improving the social and economic well-being of our communities. Compelled by an authentic desire to help under-resourced communities thrive, I’ve been privileged to serve in and lead community, economic and workforce development organizations for nearly 20 years, striving to increase access to quality education, training, jobs, capital, and social networks.I specialize in designing, implementing, and scaling programs that create positive outcomes for individuals and communities. I have an extensive background in designing workforce development and industry recognized training programs and utilizing economic development incentives to achieve community development goals. I am experienced in fundraising, grant writing, legislative advocacy, strategic planning, and board development. I love to build teams that are passionate about advancing the mission of their organization!Areas of expertise:* Executive Leadership* Workforce Development* Organizational Development* Program Design and Evaluation* Fundraising * Quality Improvement* Change Management* Strategic Planning * Project Management* Strategic Partnerships
