    Phipps Neighborhoods is a $20M non-profit social service organization executing on a mission to help New Yorkers rise above poverty. More than 45 programs spanning education, career development, housing, collective impact, civic engagement, and community resources. I championed a flexible, total stakeholder, mission-oriented approach to achieving outcomes in service of our community. Alongside the Executive Team, we ensured stability during the transition of our long-time CEO during interim period and onboarding new hire. We responded to COVID-19 with a human-first strategy to support staff and community members and safely continue program operations, identify and implement technology solutions, and pivot to meet immediate needs as part of our crisis response. Our team enacted strategies to identify, process, and address institutional racism and systemic inequity. Under my direction, the Development and Communications department motivated leadership to achieve record-breaking success culminating in a 30% increase in private fundraising revenue, including more than $1.7M during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the organization, we utilized a growth mindset in process improvement and using data to enhance program quality and improve community outcomes. In partnership with Children’s Aid I served as Co-Senior Advisor to South Bronx Rising Together, a collective impact organization serving the South Bronx.
