Summary
Extensive administrative skills and my ability to see the big picture gave me the tools needed to
streamline policies and procedures to maintain efficiency and relevance. I played a key role in the
expansion of our organization from a 2,000 square foot space and 13 services to over 60,000
square feet and 41 services. I have developed my people skills through years of people
management to become a respected leader of over 100 volunteers and staff. Fostering an
energetic atmosphere has improved the completion rate of even difficult or mundane tasks
through the recruitment of full volunteer teams.
