Over 8000 volunteers support the work of Habitat for Humanity Charlotte to provide affordable housing for all. I lead a team of 3 to coordinate all of those wonderful volunteers.

I'm available to lead workshops in volunteer management on recruitment, retention, groups, and event management.

I manage the volunteer program and in-kind donations for the top residential care facility for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. While the volunteer program here has a foundation of strong relationships, my challenge is to document processes, streamline procedures and to clean up files. I have plenty of opportunities to use my skills in strategic thinking and problem solving.
