About Me
I currently work as a Community Engagement Specialist at Jackson Care Connect, where I oversee community initiatives, manage grants, and facilitate partnerships that enhance public health and community well-being. My role involves allocating significant funding to local organizations, fostering relationships, and ensuring services are equitable and impactful. Previously, as Community Outreach Supervisor, I led community engagement strategies, managed substantial budgets, and coordinated events that strengthened our local ties.

Growing up in Medford shaped my belief in the power of community and the importance of local schools in nurturing future generations. My professional journey has equipped me with a robust background in strategic planning, public relations, and leadership. From my early roles in media sales to leading marketing strategies for major organizations, I have consistently worked to build connections, promote growth, and drive meaningful change.
