Head of Administration (Oct 2025- Present); Executive & People Administrator (May 2021 - Oct 2025)
I lead the Connected Learning Alliance’s administrative, HR, and operational functions, driving organizational effectiveness, compliance, and efficiency through strong systems and clear processes. I take ownership of strategic and day-to-day support for the executive team, manage part-time staff and contractors, and serve as the primary liaison to the Board of Directors to ensure seamless communication and coordination.
I spearhead high-visibility initiatives - including the Connected Learning Summit, annual report, blog, and year-end campaigns - owning project strategy, execution, and accountability. As a core member of the communications team, I drive communications operations and produce, edit, and manage key publications that advance organizational priorities.
I fully own HR operations, overseeing payroll, HRIS, benefits, multi-state compliance, contracts, onboarding and offboarding, and performance management while ensuring adherence to all employment laws and policies. I establish and optimize organizational systems for data, reporting, and document management to support informed decision-making and operational clarity.
I champion initiatives that strengthen workplace culture, employee engagement, diversity, and professional development. I also lead and support program staff facilitating near-peer camps and clubs, ensuring comprehensive oversight, effective scheduling, and program delivery.
