I've built my adult career around helping those most in need. Serving diverse populations ranging from the justice-involved to the pandemic affected has brought great joy and fulfillment to my professional life. I believe that effective program leadership starts with a people-focused, data-driven approach. I emphasize efficient, lean, and well-documented policies, procedures, and processes to stretch limited funds and resources and meet mission objectives. I place a strong emphasis on staff training to ensure employees at all levels are empowered to complete their work quickly, accurately, and with minimal supervisory assistance.
