About

Professional overview

I am a program and operations leader with over a decade of experience managing complex initiatives in the public and nonprofit sectors. My background includes regional planning leadership, grant administration, compliance oversight, and coordination across local, state, and federal partners.

Across these roles, I’ve been responsible not just for outcomes, but for the systems behind them—how programs are structured, how information flows, and how organizations remain resilient under regulatory and financial constraints.

How I approach work

I approach professional challenges as systems problems before they are people problems. That means focusing on clear roles and responsibilities, thoughtful documentation, transparent decision-making, and processes that support continuity and trust.

I work best in environments where questions are welcomed, assumptions are examined, and long-term sustainability matters more than short-term optics.

Values and perspective

My professional perspective is shaped by a commitment to public service and by personal experience navigating systems that deeply affect people’s lives.

As an adoptive parent of two children from the foster care system, I have a personal appreciation for how much outcomes depend on whether systems function as intended. This perspective reinforces my belief that well-designed, well-managed systems have real consequences for communities and individuals.
