With a passion to inspire life-change and leader development, our Communications team seeks to tell the stories that illustrate the big vision of city renewal and restoration in every day life. I lead that team in conceptualizing, developing, and executing communications strategies and plans based on the ongoing organizational needs and initiatives. This includes the creation and use of our brand guide and style sheet across all departments and in external applications. These applications include (but are not limited to) print, digital, social media channels, film/video and web designed to promote the brand, image and values to over 2,000 connected to the organization and the community we serve. LEADERSHIP I thrive in a collaborative process and am a team player working with and managing others. I provide insight to the highest levels of leadership in our organization and lead design meetings and decisions across internal departments and within communications team. This team is comprised of 4-14 interns per semester, and 2 part time staff. I offer constructive feedback on their work performance and train/coach designers on graphic design programs, primarily Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.PROJECT MANAGEMENTTo sustain our communications process, I have created a system to receive and manage requests functioning as a project manager tracking requests, monitoring time lines and budgets.

I was promoted after 2 years in the business office to project manager for the founder. This involved managing the scope of the projects by planning and directing schedules, meetings, defining requirements, managing resources and project deliverables, goals and milestones. Significant projects included (but are not limited to) our anti-trafficking efforts mobilizing volunteers and collaborating with community partners and government affiliates. One of those projects was a merger with a city-church. I was promoted to team leader/executive director for this new arm, now called Grace Midtown Church. As this plant grew from 50 congregants to over 1500, I gave insight and collaborated on an organizational restructure and implementation. I managed the staff team and later a department, including contract employees and freelancers, on a day-to-day basis, ensuring the quality of their outputs. Through a collaborative process with our executive team of 3, we led the staff team through strategic goal setting. I was responsible for measuring these goals, alerting leadership to shortfall in performance, recommending training or changes in course.
