Having often been the only woman in the room throughout my career in tech and engineering, I understand first-hand the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups from advancing education and professional success. That's what drew me to partner with mission-driven organizations that share a commitment to breaking down these barriers.My 15 years implementing successful projects at Fortune 500 companies taught me that technology transformations succeed or fail based on three things: people, processes, and effective change management. Combined with my technical background (B.S. Mechanical Engineering, Rice University) and strategic operations expertise (M.B.A. in Continuous Improvement, University of Michigan), I bring proven methods to guide nonprofits through technology changes by focusing on what actually makes them stick.When good processes meet engaged teams, amazing things happen! Here’s what I’ve helped create:>> Transformed a crisis response nonprofit's workflow from 20 hours to just 30 minutes - that's the difference between "we'll get back to you next week" and "your report is on the way right now" (plus they secured new funding!)>> Quickly grew a community meal program from serving 45 families to 240+ in just 3 weeks - proving that rapid growth and quality service can go hand in hand>> Helped organizations better serve their communities through strategic website improvements, leading to 156% more people reached while staying within budget>> Built team confidence and capability with new tools by putting staff needs first - resulting in 100% adoption and sustained use>> Guided large teams through new Salesforce implementations with an approach so effective, it became the blueprint for future improvements - ensuring lasting impact well beyond the initial project>> Got Fortune 500 hiring managers excited about removing degree requirements by showing how it would help them do their jobs better. The result? 100% of them adopted new equity practices, opening doors for 70% more--and more diverse--job seekers
