Personal Summary

Parish leadership has provided me with multi-faceted experience in managing people and programs. My certificates in facility and project management augmented my experience with academic understanding in planning, directing and coordinating the operations of an urban parish office and historic church building with efficiency. I am well-organized, yet flexible, which allows me to deal simultaneously with a large workload and unexpected issues that may arise. I have the desire and the competence to manage, collaborate, train and communicate with volunteers, colleagues, community partners and team members.

 I enjoy building relationships through compassion and curiosity.  I am naturally empathetic to the needs of others and try to view the world through their lived experience. I am a creative problem solver. I like to learn and appreciate opportunities to develop my skills. This is an exciting opportunity to handle a wide range of project management, communication and administrative tasks.
