Data and evaluation for two grant-funded programs aimed at workforce development and small, minority owned local business development in Salt Lake County. I facilitate data collection, data management, and CRM implementation with local and minority owned nonprofits and business chambers. I collaborate with the program teams to coordinate processes and plan program outcome measurements. I train partners on use of CRM and collection of data, and provide advice and support as we work together. I communicate program updates that are data-informed and provide KPI reporting through dashboards and presentations.

I listened to, supported, and connected individuals in Salt Lake County that were seeking assistance and services. I pulled data from the SAMi online application to clean, organize, and analyze for deeper understanding of the needs of the community and how funding has aided in serving those in need. I had the honor of touring and learning about wonderful outreach and nonprofit organizations in the county. Work from time in this role culminated in a conference presentation at the National Human Services Data Consortium in April, 2023.
