About

Professional summary

I am a Director-level strategic operator with over 13 years of experience building programs, partnerships, and operating models at the intersection of social impact, philanthropy, and corporate responsibility. I excel at translating organizational vision into measurable outcomes, including achieving 100% client renewal rates, 96% customer satisfaction across all accounts, and 25% business development efficiency gains through hands-on AI agent builds and project management. I thrive in cross-functional environments, designing scalable systems, OKR frameworks, and operating rhythms that free strategic capacity and accelerate growth.

My experience spans startup-level adaptability combined with stakeholder fluency, enabling me to perform effectively in mid-size and large organizations across non-profits, higher education, advocacy, and corporate social impact sectors. I am motivated by the belief that well-run organizations move more capital to the causes that matter most.

Currently, I serve as the Director of Strategy and Operations at Raise for Good, where I act as a cross-functional integrator across Operations, Delivery, Marketing, and Product teams. I manage a multi-million dollar qualified business development pipeline and partner directly with the CEO to set strategy and oversee proposals and statements of work. I have architected and deployed AI business development agents that reduce manual tasks by 7-10 hours per week and lead AI integration across workflows to significantly reduce manual work for the team.

I design and maintain OKR infrastructure, reporting cadences, and profitability dashboards to support leadership decision-making. I oversee a team of four direct reports, managing performance goals and hiring pipelines. Additionally, I lead virtual community outreach and event series that generate qualified business development leads.

Previously, I held senior management roles focused on partnerships and social impact program strategy, where I designed and executed over 100 program strategies, supported closing over $6 million in revenue, scaled teams, managed budgets, and maintained high network value ratings with major partners. My earlier experience includes donor portfolio management, event coordination, and conference management, consistently achieving strong fundraising and partnership results.

I am skilled in AI and automation, CRM and pipeline management, operations and finance tools, and frameworks such as OKR design and cross-functional operating cadences. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on Public Service from the University of California, Riverside, and have completed certifications in effective negotiation and CRM training.
