I’m an operations and database professional with over a decade of experience keeping organizations running smoothly behind the scenes. My work interests center around online operations, database management, compliance, and process improvement. I love creating order out of complexity and making sure systems support people, not the other way around. I’m detail-oriented but also adaptable, equally comfortable managing CRM data and compliance audits as I am coordinating events, research projects, or cross-team communication. My strongest sides are my ability to spot inefficiencies, design practical solutions, and deliver consistent, accurate results while juggling multiple priorities. At the heart of it, I thrive in roles where I can support mission-driven teams by making their daily work easier, faster, and more effective.
