About

With over a decade in leadership and project management, I've carved a niche in designing educational programs that resonate across diverse sectors. My knack for data analytics ensures programs I helm not only meet, but often surpass their intended goals. As I stride toward PMP and CPLP certifications in 2023, I'm fueled by a passion to optimize organizational dynamics. Outside of work, my curiosity finds me delving into the latest in leadership trends and organizational best practices.

Experience

• Project Director · ReCapturing the Vision03-01-2023

  Federal Grant Mastery: As the driving force behind educational initiatives, my leadership is backed by federal grants, especially from the Department of Health and Human Services. My domain? Both the K-12 and Higher Ed sectors. It's not just about projects but lasting change. Team Alchemy: Leading is an art. Building a team is magic. I curated a dynamic team of 12, handpicked not just for prowess but passion. Strategic Collaborations: Beyond operations, my eyes are set on the horizon. I've knitted partnerships with educational titans in South Florida, ensuring win-win growth scenarios with C-suite stakeholders. Narrative & Digital Facelift: With a keen eye on brand narratives, I paired with our Creative Director for a robust rebrand. Our digital avatar? Evolving to match our stride. People-First Operations: Meeting grant objectives is one aspect. I championed initiatives that elevated team morale, evident in our soaring satisfaction rates and minimized turnover.

• Founder/CEO · StoryCraft Solutions (DBA)11-01-2022

  When I founded StoryCraft Solutions, I was driven by the power of a well-told story. In every organization, there's a unique tale to be told, but often, there's a disconnect. By refining our communication and workflow, our projects flowed better and our clients smiled more. But the real magic happened when we delved into organizational narratives. We audited businesses from the inside out. What were their internal stories? How did they present themselves to the world? Our goal was to find that sweet spot, the genuine tale that resonated both internally and externally. This wasn't just about brand image but about genuine alignment. Workshops became one of my favorite tools. With Unite Us, for instance, we helped their recruitment team find that authentic narrative alignment in their outreach efforts. It's transformative when a team can communicate a clear, compelling story that mirrors its values and objectives. And then there's my largest ongoing client, the Navy. Crafting scripts for their internal video assets was, and still is, both an honor and a challenge. Working closely with Navy HQ, we ensured the narratives served a purpose – clear communication at its finest. In essence, my time at StoryCraft wasn't just about running a business; it was about helping organizations find, refine, and communicate their truest stories.
