About

I'm a program coordinator and nonprofit leader with a decade of experience building systems that help mission-driven organizations thrive. I combine operational excellence, data-informed decision making, and genuine passion for food security and community health.

Recently completed an intensive data analytics bootcamp where I built dashboards in Tableau and Power BI, conducted analysis with Python and PostgreSQL, and applied geospatial tools to real-world community challenges. I bridge the gap between nonprofit operations and data—turning messy real-world problems into actionable insights.

Appalachia is my home. I understand the region's needs, strengths, and opportunities—and I'm committed to building solutions that serve our communities with integrity and care.
