After graduating from college and ending my Executive Director tenure, I began working in the corporate sector full-time. However, I did not want to give up supporting mission-based organizations. In Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York, I supported a range of nonprofits in startup planning, strategic planning facilitation, growth planning, organizational design, and transformation in a pro bono capacity both in-person and virtually.

Working with Youth Action is where I truly developed my passion for working with nonprofits. When I first joined, the organization was very small (had an operating budget of less than $15K), but had a compelling mission and desired to do more. When I was asked to become the Executive Director, as a sophomore in college, I was so nervous that I consumed tons of books on nonprofit management, program development, strategy, marketing, fundraising, and more so I could keep the organization afloat and hopefully make it a little better.Fast forward just a few years later, we completely revamped our programs and outreach, grew from serving 20 students to nearly 100 students per year, built creative partnerships, and grew our annual operating budget to ~$200K. And by the time I transitioned, we secured our first $100K grant.

MLT is a fantastic nonprofit. It was here that I gained my first real exposure to the power of coaching. 18 months of one-on-one coaching showed me that coaching can help you perform at a much higher level much more quickly. Additionally, MLT offered a wide range of rigorous workshops that were instrumental to my growth and development and accelerated my career in corporate.

The Institute for the Development of African American Youth provides a variety of programs aimed at supporting at-risk urban youth who were victims of poverty, the criminal justice system, and inadequate access to education. I was responsible for leading a new efforts to help a group of young adults (aged 16-24 years old), who had difficulty obtaining jobs, pursue their GED and explore an entrepreneurship path. During my time there, led the launch of a spin-off catering company, which helped the participants make money during the summer and beyond. To provide motivation and ensure their success with the new business venture, I developed professional development training seminars and reusable materials which covered topics on: business planning, budgeting, effective verbal and written communication, professional presence, project management, and marketing. Finally, I helped them study for and acquire Safe Serve Certifications to meet compliance standards for their business venture and tutored them as they studied for their GED.
