As a dedicated Nonprofit Business Programs Director and Instructional Designer with over 20 years of experience, I am passionate about driving impactful change through strategic program management and innovative solutions. My journey has been marked by a commitment to saving lives with public safety and suicide prevention educational and operational programming. In my role, I specialize in:- Program Development & Management: Designing elementary curriculum, expanding middle and high school program, and increasing year-over-year retention to all time high.- Strategic Planning: Facilitating stakeholder sessions to engineer process changes, set actionable objectives, and developing strategies that align with both short-term goals and long-term vision.- Fundraising & Sponsor Management: Building relationships with potential donors and sponsor, crafting compelling proposals, and ensuring accurate reporting and effective measurements.- Team Leadership & Capacity Building: Leading and mentoring cross-functional teams, fostering a collaborative environment, and empowering staff to achieve their full potential.- Community Engagement & Advocacy: Partnering with community leaders and organizations to amplify our reach and advocate for systemic change that benefits those with the greatest need.My approach is grounded in a deep understanding of the nonprofit sector’s unique challenges and opportunities. I thrive in environments where I can leverage my skills in program design, stakeholder engagement, and relationship building to create sustainable, systemic change that community wide impacts. I'm turned off by performative measures especially in matters of health and safety, so I seek long-ranging innovative solutions through strategic partnerships that enhance our ability to make community level changes.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about advancing social impact and are interested in exploring opportunities for collaboration.
