San Antonio, Texas, United States
I believe my years of experience in case management (4 years) and fiscal, programmatic and collaborative experience (17 years) have prepared me to plan, organize, direct and evaluate program activities of any agency. I have been able to develop and obtain various funding opportunities, as well as, assist with policy development and legislative advocacy of youth programming. I have years of training and research in best practices of youth development and most importantly I have a passion to see families and youth succeed. It would be my desire and hope to develop new community relationships in order to support an agency's mission and to enhance individuals lives.
