Mission-driven program, operations, and community engagement professional with 6+ years of experience building the systems that help people-centered work thrive. I specialize in coordinating complex initiatives, streamlining operations, managing events, and strengthening communications across nonprofit, civic, arts, and mission-driven organizations. My career has centered on creating infrastructure that turns good intentions into meaningful impact—whether that means managing cross-functional programs, improving workflows, coordinating large-scale events, supporting executive leadership, or building community-centered experiences that are organized, welcoming, and effective. I’ve led and supported work across organizations, including Urban Adamah, /dev/color, SXSW, Abbott Laboratories, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and Bay Area civic initiatives. Along the way, I’ve developed strengths in program coordination, stakeholder engagement, volunteer management, communications strategy, event logistics, systems implementation, and operational problem-solving. I’m especially passionate about equity-focused work. My background includes supporting programs advancing food justice, racial justice, arts access, education, and economic opportunity. I care deeply about building systems rooted in dignity, belonging, and access—particularly for communities too often overlooked by traditional institutions. People often know me as someone who can bring calm to complexity: I organize moving parts, build trust across teams, communicate clearly, and keep mission at the center of execution.
