I am a results-driven professional committed to achieving impact in the non-profit sector through a unique social work perspective and business mindset. I possess demonstrable success in bridging the gap between internal and external stakeholders to manage complex dependencies and achieve buy-in to strategy and actions.I have worked for Paws4ever for the past 6 years and prior to this worked as a Social Worker and Program Coordinator for 6 years. Notable achievements at Paws4ever include: ◼️ Implemented robust policies, processes, and systems that improved efficiencies, enhanced client retention, and enriched customer service.◼️ Established a governance Board, leading to a collaborative relationship between the Board and employees with collective goals and visions.◼️ Led program evaluation to achieve a 30% increase in adoptions and a 70% decrease in length of stay.I love building up organizations from the inside, implementing financial and operational systems, and building a foundation on which an organization can grow. I love working on systemic challenges and change, identifying solutions that take into account the strategic growth of the organization and the bigger picture of the organization, the non-profit sector, and the community. I also really love building up the culture of an organization. I believe strongly in the importance of paying attention to best practice, always learning, being curious, building on and improving the work and impact. I also believe really strongly that an organization is only as good as its employees - and if we take care of employees then we will be in a better place to take care of the community.
