In turn, we will hopefully build a more just and fair workplace for all. I seek to improve and streamline systems for all of our staff, collecting input and striving for consensus building where possible. I manage a team of Operations Specialists who are integral to building a healthy team which in turns helps our whole organization and the mission, vision and values of LSP and LSAF move forward.
