Strategic thinker, workflow improver, and team enthusiast looking to use my skills to save time and eradicate inefficiencies for an organization building up farmers and a healthy food system. Would love to connect!Ever since I discovered the wonders of single-cellular life, I realized that even a one-celled bacterium needs a whole community to thrive. I soon gravitated toward the needs of human systems, focusing on my passion for food and sustainability. Ever since my time leading a county-wide food distribution program, I’ve been hooked on the joys of project management and process improvements. To deepen my understanding, I pursued a Master’s in Sustainability Management specializing in food systems at the University of Colorado Boulder. For my capstone project, I researched, analyzed, and wrote recommendations for the City of Boulder to achieve its food waste goals. While researching, I also collaborated with the Boulder County Food Waste Committee and local organizations to manage and execute a county-wide awareness campaign. Today, I wear many hats as Program Officer for ICLEI USA, a consulting non-profit that builds local governments’ capacity to tackle climate change, establish resilience, and foster holistic sustainability. I use my analytical approach combined with creativity to research and develop internal process and workflow improvements. I connect people, improve collaboration, simplify and synthesize messaging, and craft data visualizations and presentations.My specialties include quickly learning new skills, instituting change, problem-solving, asking the right questions, analyzing trends, collaborating, increasing team effectiveness, designing, improving processes, identifying issues, developing solutions, mapping systems, and working creatively and independently.
Listed skills include Bacterial Culturing, Microsoft Office, Vector Cloning, Geneious, and 10 others.
