My work spans grassroots grantmaking, statewide training, public-benefit outreach, systems modernization, food access, digital inclusion, and cross-sector implementation.
Administered local and federally funded grant initiatives from concept through post-award execution, pairing fiscal oversight and compliance with hands-on technical assistance, plain-language guidance, evaluation tools, peer learning, trainings, and trust-based partner support.
Built statewide training and educational infrastructure, standardizing curricula, manuals, evaluation criteria, online learning modules, specialized webinars, certification tracks, and emergency responder crisis-intervention programming.
Led nutrition-benefits outreach across a 34-county service area, driving a consistent 5% annual increase in FNS participation while strengthening volunteer recruitment, partner engagement, data tracking, and targeted strategies for underserved populations.
Built foundational food-access infrastructure, designed rural senior outreach, expanded volunteer operations, modernized application workflows using telephonic signatures, IVR, and NC FAST integration, and helped lead a reentry pilot connecting people to benefits before release.
Expanded equitable food distribution through outreach for Child Nutrition Programs, School Breakfast, WIC, FNS, and TEFAP while recruiting agencies and strengthening cross-sector community partnerships.
Led the design and statewide rollout of Vermont's online pre-screening and application portal for federal nutrition assistance, pairing plain-language digital tools with empathetic messaging, marketing, and community partnerships.
Built grassroots digital-inclusion strategies, computer literacy resources, and technology supports for refugee and low-income communities in partnership with public libraries and local networks.
Studied Philosophy & Classical Studies at the College of Charleston, 1997–2000. Asking what a system is for — and who it serves — remains a surprisingly practical technical skill.
