As a Parks and Recreation Management Professional, I lead the development and implementation of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, manage operating budgets, grants, and major projects, and oversee park, beach, and facility maintenance operations. I develop departmental policies, establish goals, and provide strategic direction while identifying alternative resources to enhance programs and services. I manage capital improvement programs and ensure projects are executed in alignment with the Master Plan. My role involves community engagement through public meetings and presentations, and I maintain professional expertise by participating in industry organizations and maintaining relevant certifications.
