About

As Associate Director of Programs, I lead the strategic design, implementation, and evaluation of initiatives central to our organization’s mission. Leveraging my extensive background in digital equity, which includes transforming Digital Navigator programs from pilots into nationally recognized initiatives, I now oversee the development and management of comprehensive programming that drives digital equity across diverse communities.

In collaboration with senior leadership, I ensure our programs are sustainable and aligned with strategic goals. I manage project budgets, support grant initiatives, and coordinate efforts across internal and external teams to optimize systems and processes. My prior experience in spearheading the development of scalable digital ecosystems, such as the Community-Based Digital Navigator Model, has been instrumental in shaping my current approach to driving organizational growth and setting the foundation for future expansion into underserved and unserved communities.
