In addition to serving as a program director, assisted with operational and financial administrative services for the larger umbrella organization, the Northeast Charter Schools Network. Notable Contributions:Served as the co-chair organizing the 2021 and 2022 New York Charter Schools Conference, which is the only statewide conference of charter school leaders and stakeholders of its kind in New York.

I developed the program budget totaling nearly $27 million in full compliance with the RFP’s requirement and standards, drafted the budget narrative, assisted in the writing of the program application, and developed and executed on the project plan for submission within the shortened deadline of the grant application window.Curated and facilitated the entire suite of school support-based programming for the New York Charter Schools Association, including their Critical Friends Visits program, regional school leader meetings, 3 stakeholder working groups (Operations, Board Members, and Data Managers), and special and recurring webinars, which provide direct support to the state’s 350 charter schools.
