HOSTS
My career in non-profit administration and leadership spans over a decade. I currently work for the Wisdom House Retreat and Conference Center as the Executive Director, and my career track includes roles as an Executive Director and a Director. As an Executive Director, I have administered daily operations, including managing the budget and staff. I have recruited, hired, trained, and coached staff. A few strengths of mine are that I am resourceful, innovative, and passionate. My natural ability to analyze a problematic situation and develop a creative plan sets me apart. I also naturally empathize, relate, and connect with individuals from all walks of life. I have many years of experience, and my career has helped me broaden my leadership qualities. I have a combination of community outreach, donor relations, grants, leadership, and strategic planning experience.
