Director of Programs
I oversee daily operations, establish relationships with partners, and develop processes to improve current programs.
I identify with being a Community Educator, working in concert with multiple stakeholders to provide educational programs and experiences that are transformative for families, individual, and communities. I managed program development of this start-up job training and education organization, helping create a "whole-learner" orientation, balancing culinary arts content with personal development (soft skills), and tapping into the strengths of each individual within this learning community.
I thrive in places where I can practice meshing lifelong learning, program development, project management, and community engagement. Focus on gaining skills and learning things that are interesting to you and then figure out how to utilize those wherever you end up.

You don't have to decide every step of your life right now. Be open to taking new opportunities and don't be afraid to move on when the time is right. Enjoy the journey.
