How I Work With You
As I explore opportunities to contribute meaningfully within mission-driven organizations, I’ve come to value four foundational concepts that reflect not only how I work, but how we might work well together: Resourcefulness, Collaboration, Efficiency, and Adaptability.In today’s complex hiring landscape, finding the right fit goes beyond just matching a job description. That’s why I’ve created this tailored page to offer you a clear, thoughtful view into my experiences, strengths, and the values I bring to every team I join.Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to explore how our goals might align.
1. Strategic Resourcefulness
At RJI, I serve as the central operational support for a citywide nonprofit focused on equity and healing. My role requires a high level of resourcefulness, as I am responsible for maintaining CRM data accuracy, tracking donor activity, managing contracts, processing invoices, coordinating logistics, and serving as the primary point of contact for vendors, participants, and board members.I've developed strong partnerships across New York City that has led to free facility access and additional resources for the organization, including successfully securing a grant. This position requires managing multiple systems and workflows while proactively anticipating needs, addressing challenges, and identifying solutions before they reach leadership.

2. Collaboration with Impact
At the heart of every successful initiative lies deep collaboration. One of my most meaningful experiences was partnering with Talk More, a Georgia-based nonprofit dedicated to anti-racism and inclusive education. Together, we developed culturally relevant sexuality education materials and co-authored a workbook designed to help families and institutions navigate complex conversations with care and clarity.This partnership taught me that collaboration isn’t just about contributing ideas. It's about listening, adapting, and showing up with shared purpose and humility.
3. Efficiency & Precision in Practice
Efficiency isn’t just about speed. It’s about systems that work. During my time as a Human Resource Administrator, I noticed that a new HRIS software rollout created confusion among older staff. Rather than respond reactively, I proactively developed custom tutorial videos that walked employees through the system step by step.These self-guided tools reduced support requests, built confidence across the team, and created a replicable training resource that transformed a potentially chaotic transition into a smooth and successful onboarding process.
Jacqui Reynolds served Peckham Industries, Inc. for 20 years within the HR department and as my direct supervisor up until her retirement in 2014/2015. Jacqui is now also a close friend and may be used as a personal reference. Additional reference/employee review available within Supporting Documents.
4. Adaptive Leadership
Working as a Generalist at The Copper Door, I was immersed in the full spectrum of operations, often switching between front-line hospitality tasks and back-end logistics in a single day. From guest services and housekeeping to vendor management, event planning, and payroll, I had to remain grounded while adjusting quickly to dynamic demands.This role sharpened my ability to balance flexibility with focus. I learned to pivot when needed while staying connected to the bigger picture. It taught me that adaptability is not about doing everything at once, but about knowing how to prioritize and respond with intention.
