Provide organizational guidance and oversight for all fund development, public relations and external communications. Create fundraising and marketing plans that engage community stakeholders, diversify funding streams, and convey NJCDC's unique position in revitalizing one on New Jersey's most distressed cities--Paterson.

Led organization in all aspects of programming, fund development, and expansion. Forged relationships with other like-minded non-profits; managed the for-profit arm of Vacamas (sales); created program logic model; identified and applied for funding opportunities; seamlessly lead five youth-based programs on three sites, in two-states; and provided much needed ethical leadership to an organization in transition. I started at Vacamas as a Junior Counselor and worked at Vacamas in nearly every capacity. I remained connected to the organization throughout my career and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to serve in a senior leadership position during an important transition.
