As the Operations Manager for Pivotal, I worked with the Senior Staff and Board in many capacities. Using my 18 years of experience in a high tech company to continuously monitor our costs and find ways to save money I was able to cut costs by renegotiating contracts for Printers, VOIP Phones, Cell Phones, HR, Performance Management Software, and IT. I provided the internal support so our Coaches could could provide support to our Youth, and our Executive Team could continue engaging in the community to spread the word about the work we do. I am so proud of the work this amazing Agency does with those youth who are, or who have been, a part of the Foster Care System. Pivotal's work does not end when a case is closed. They continue to work with that youth for as long as they want to work with us. Pivotal provides one on one educational coaching and career assistance, providing enrichment experiences, college scholarships, and internships. It is an amazing organization that I was proud to work for.
