Manager. Administrator. Engineer. With a varied and unique career, I can be defined in many ways. My extensive experience working in the nonprofit and private sectors, both internationally and domestically, has built a broad set of skills. They combine strong management expertise with high-level administrative and technical capabilities. I excel at operationalizing a concept, even in complex, dynamic environments, turning a vision into reality from the ground up. My early career moved between technical international aid work and domestic engineering-related jobs. Eventually, I went on to oversee programs in a variety of fields outside of my immediate expertise, including primary health care, economic development, disaster preparedness, food security, and climate change mitigation. These roles often required me to simultaneously fill a number of functions, such as administration, representation, fund raising, and finance. My skills include:• Comprehensive program management• Long-term strategic planning• Proposal and report writing• Financial budgeting and oversight• Program monitoring and evaluation• Donor and government relations• Representation and communication• Team leadership• Grant and contract administration• Technical design and supervision• Contractor and vendor negotiations• Renewable energy technologies• Water and sanitation expertise• Cross-cultural competencyIn my latest role, I was turning my attention to the next generation of leaders. As Director of Career Services at Prescott College, I tried to instill in students the sense of satisfaction that hard work in a fulfilling job can bring. I wanted them also to know that choosing an unconventional career path, as mine has been, can be immeasurably rewarding.
