Are you seeking a program manager who turns community vision into measurable outcomes, or a recruiter who builds truly diverse, high-caliber talent pipelines? You've found both. I build equity-centered programs and source inclusive talent for nonprofits, startups, and mission-driven teams, bridging operational excellence with real, lasting impact.

Building on this foundation, I offer expertise in Program Management and Community Engagement. I have 5+ years of experience at the Assistant Director level in higher education, designing and directing equity-centered programs for nonprofits, including Lighthouse Foundation of Chicagoland, Kiva, Runway to Hope, and Project Sunshine. I specialize in multi-week cohort design, stakeholder coordination, cross-functional team management, and the development of systems that drive measurable impact for underrepresented communities.

My program management experience complements my recruiting and sourcing skills. With 3+ years at Faire, I sourced for Marketplace Operations, People Operations, and CX, and managed a competitive Co-op Engineering Internship Program. I build diverse pipelines using Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS platforms, and generative AI.

Bringing these skills together, my work connects people, purpose, and process. I turn your vision—whether launching a community program, building a talent pipeline, or creating an inclusive engagement strategy—into impact. I deliver structure, heart, and results.

I work best with nonprofits, arts and culture organizations, higher education institutions, and mission-driven companies that value both operational and human strengths.

Looking forward to connecting.
