Finance: * I was the 3rd hire for the team and helped revenues grow over 600% over 6 years.* Led the transition to professional accounting, donor relations and payroll software* Managed expenses, designated funds, tax and donor reporting.* Top individual fundraiser in the organization.Social Enterprise:* Started two businesses from the ground up including raising the startup capital as well as training and hiring the staff.* The first was a landscaping business designed as a re-entry program. The state penitentiary in Louisiana has a program to help men get the correct license to run a landscaping business. We employed some of them for a season to teach them the business side of the craft before sending them off on their own.* The second business was a t-shirt screen printing business. We focused specifically on job training for youth. We partnered with New Harmony high school and ran an arts focused internship, teaching the process from selling the job to creating the product for the customers. We also partnered with Carver High School where the students received work/study credit for working in our shop.* I taught a 14-week entrepreneurship course for 5 years, helping aspiring business owners from disadvantaged communities, launch their dream businesses. We helped start over 200 small and micro businesses in New Orleans.
