Akron, Ohio, United States

Through strategic partnerships with local schools, workforce organizations, and training providers, I foster trusted relationships that aim to build a vibrant talent ecosystem, aligning efforts to address the specific skills and certifications valued by employers. My focus is on creating systems-level change by bridging community resources with impactful programming, ensuring access to work-based learning experiences such as internships and apprenticeships.By engaging with the College and Career Academies of Akron (CCAA) and convening industry sector partnerships (ISPs), I support the equitable distribution of resources and enhance industry exposure for students, helping them gain practical, hands-on experience in real-world business environments. This collaboration with educational and community-based organizations aims to develop students’ awareness of diverse career paths and, ultimately, build a stronger, more equitable workforce for the future.In addition to supporting nonprofit organizations with workforce programming, I leverage workforce data to kick-start initiatives and design impactful programs that address current industry needs. By fostering connections with employers and addressing barriers to participation, I help ensure program success and alignment with real-world demands. I work closely with partners to collect and analyze data on participant outcomes, using this evidence to evolve programs for effectiveness and secure funding for growth. Through strategic partnerships, my role contributes to reducing workforce barriers, creating new career pathways, and enhancing economic resilience in the region
