I am passionate about designing and implementing programming to help college students and professionals form meaningful, goal-aligned connections with peers, professionals, and companies. To accomplish this I take a data-based approach to customizing best practices to fit the individual needs of SHPE members and companies. I have worked for a variety of higher education institutions (large, public 4-year; small, private 4-year; community college) in a myriad of roles and offices. This varied experience has provided me with a first-hand understanding of the challenges and barriers college students face related to success, persistence, and degree completion. This understanding is key to successful higher education adjacent programming at industry partners.With a strong focus on people and processes, I have excelled in several key areas throughout my career. In my most recent role, I played a pivotal role in coordinating office operations for a 16-person team, guiding the team's growth from 8 to 16 members. I successfully designed and implemented an onboarding process for new team members, resulting in more efficient communication and collaboration, increased productivity, and a positive work culture.Additionally, as a department manager, I effectively oversaw a team that grew from four to seven people. I integrated Membership and Chapter Operations onto the team and provided comprehensive program leadership and support. Through strategic guidance and individualized development, I fostered a highly engaged and productive team that consistently met or exceeded their program goals.In the realm of partnership management, I have excelled in managing a combined budget of 2.9 million and building relationships with corporate partners. I successfully secured program and scholarship grants, expanded the reach and impact of SHPE programming, and increased credibility and trust with our partners. I also designed and implemented new programs, furthering SHPE's mission and fostering stakeholder engagement and support.Throughout my career, I have accomplished substantial projects as an individual or leading ad hoc teams. From research and data updates to coordinating large-scale events and managing video production, I have demonstrated my versatility and ability to execute projects successfully.I bring a depth of skills and expertise to my work, along with a strong commitment to collaboration and personal growth. With a proven track record in people and process management, I am dedicated to driving organizational success and bettering myself and others.
