Thanks for being here,

I’ve worked in a variety of environments, and I want what I’ve learned to leave people better off.

Experience

Behavioral health

2024 – 2025

Intake Specialist and Residential Counselor

PRC Baker Places

  • Improved average bed utilization from ~62% to 78%+ (rolling 3 months) by digitizing internal intake and referral processes.
  • Completed AOA-07 intake assessments through multi-provider records research: Epic first, then three to five outside providers per client by message, phone, and email, rebuilding social histories from fragmentary records. Assessment turnaround fell from about seven days to 24–72 hours.
  • Maintained and extended the agency's SQL referral database and built the digital intake workflow around it: online forms, Teams routing, email, and website updates across four houses, partner jails, and SF DPH. It replaced a fax-based manual process.
  • Named by the program manager as the site's Epic resource: formally trained three clinicians on documentation workflows and served as the standing escalation point for Epic questions across the residential program.
2023 – Present

Harm Reduction Program Lead

Independent — multiple festivals (incl. BAAAHS)

  • Designed the harm reduction program for BAAAHS, a large-scale queer arts community at festivals of ~200–800 attendees, including protocols for risk recognition, supportive engagement, and referral-to-care.
  • Wrote the escalation protocol the harm reduction team worked from. Five tiers, from disoriented-but-well through medical need to a 911 call, each with a defined response and a defined handoff. Standing rules across every tier: work in pairs, stay on radio with event and venue leads, and check back on anyone who was handed off.
  • Trained 3 volunteer "rangers" at BAAAHS in risk recognition, supportive engagement, and referral-to-care protocols for large-scale queer arts events.
  • Narrowed what frontline volunteers were expected to carry. Before the protocol, rangers felt obligated to talk people through crises themselves. The written tiers gave them a response for each situation and a person to route it to, so their job was to stabilize and hand off rather than to fix. One said it was much easier than they had thought.
2007 – 2012

Onsite Outreach & Care Coordinator

Lifelong AIDS Alliance

  • Ran late-night volunteer HIV/STI prevention outreach (10pm–2am, 1–2 nights/week over 5 years) in Seattle bathhouses and bars, distributing condoms, lube, and safer-sex materials and engaging ~20–50 men per night — roughly 2,000+ contacts per year sustained.
  • Collected nightly venue census and referral tally data and submitted it to Lifelong AIDS Alliance, feeding Public Health–Seattle & King County MSM sexual-health surveillance informing HIV/STI prevention and early PrEP research and recruitment.
  • Provided on-site resource navigation and referrals — ~5–10 per night — connecting men to STI testing, housing, and support services in queer community venues.
  • Provided 1:1 harm-reduction counseling on safer sex and substance use risk reduction in bathhouse and community settings, listening to client concerns and tailoring information to each conversation.

Independent projects

2026 – Present

Project Lead & Digital Archivist

CRFW Archive

  • Inventoried a 304 GB, 48,538-file digital estate into a queryable SQLite manifest with SHA-256 fixity on all 35,866 on-disk files, surfacing 179 GB that existed only as cloud placeholders as the archive's largest custody risk.
  • Moved 32,652 files (17.7 GB) into quarantine across five batches under a never-delete rule, logging every original path so any decision stays reversible; re-pathed the entire archive and repointed every tool and catalog entry with zero stale references.
  • Designed a 2,300-record knowledge base across 18 entity types as the archive's single source of truth — YAML schema with provenance, confidence, sensitivity tiers and a publish gate — so the public site, database and browsable explorer all regenerate from it rather than being edited by hand.

Agency & consulting

2021 – 2022

Senior Project Manager

Edelman DxI

  • Captured requirements, estimated fees, and developed SOWs for creative, media, and measurement services valued up to $2.2M.
  • Coached account team on emceeing and running effective standups, reducing time spent in meetings by 30–50%.
  • Identified senior-labor utilization trending 10–15% above target and delivered quarterly staffing recommendations to the portfolio VP from actual-vs-expected hour analysis (Edelman's reporting platform and Tableau), bringing utilization back to target and advancing portfolio margin +10% YoY.
2021

Scrum Master (Consultant)

Anheuser-Busch

  • Led the Scrum transition for Anheuser-Busch's Beyond Beer division, consolidating its twelve brand teams into one operating unit. Shared agile routines were documented in Microsoft Project and Azure DevOps with the portfolio VPs.
  • Traveled nationally to train 6 teams of 5–7 people on agile methodology and effective agile ceremonies.
  • Consolidated 7 independent team routines into 3 coordinated agile routines across the division and leaned heavily into Scrum, cutting the data-gathering-to-insight pipeline from ~3 days of email back-and-forth to under 24 hours.
2020 – 2021

Senior Project Manager

Jump450 Media

  • Co-founded agency PMO with SPMs and CCO; documented and distributed best practices across the agency.
  • Built an automated, Slack-integrated approval pipeline between Wegmans and Jump450 using Zapier, Slack, and Airtable — assets submitted to a single Slack channel landed in an organized Airtable database for quick approvals, shortening asset time-to-market from 2–3 weeks to 3–4 days and giving the team granular data on each asset's social and digital ad performance.
  • Re-engineered analytics reporting on a Tableau stack fed from Airtable and all of Wegmans' social, Google, and ad-tracker data, shifting biweekly output to quick screenshots instead of manual report-gathering — saving each team member 4–6 hours per week and cutting media-team labor on the account by ~one third while maintaining or increasing productivity.
2019 – 2020

Creative Project Manager

Future Colossal

  • Managed logistics, budget, and procurement for "The Arctic Refuge Experience," a two-story immersive installation simulating the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge before oil drilling, with a call-your-senator station for ANWR and the Gwich'in Nation. Toured New York, San Francisco, and Washington DC with Wallplay; project valued around $1.1–1.5M.
  • Contributed sound design ideation to "The Arctic Refuge Experience," a multi-sensory immersive installation incorporating 14-channel audio, custom scent, wind, and fog effects.
  • Traveled nationally to manage onsite staff and vendor installation of client exhibitions for Future Colossal.
2016 – 2019

  • Implemented onsite communication practices using Skype for Business, reducing average production time by 25% at large events.
2023 – 2024

Business Development Consultant

Cafe Suspiro

  • Analyzed 2023 sales (~$150k gross) for trends; developed strategic plan targeting 50%+ growth in 2024.
  • Identified menu items under 0.7 gross-profit margin and ran a profitability analysis of the owner's best-selling, most-focused items; recommended adjusting recipes, pricing, and sales mix toward comparable higher-margin items to lift overall profit margin from ~40% toward 60%.
  • Made custom, luxury espresso drinks in a laid-back environment, covering up to 75–100 customers daily.

Independent creative work

Inside a behavioral-health program

2024 – 2025

Intake Specialist and Residential Counselor

PRC Baker Places

  • Improved average bed utilization from ~62% to 78%+ (rolling 3 months) by digitizing internal intake and referral processes.

  • Named by the program manager as the site's Epic resource: formally trained three clinicians on documentation workflows and served as the standing escalation point for Epic questions across the residential program.
  • Built the program's utilization reporting: same-day census from Epic, longitudinal trends in Access and Excel, read by agency leadership and SF DPH.
  • Rebuilt the bed census as a forecast instead of a daily count. Bucketed admitted clients at 45, 90, and 120 days of stay, flagged stays past 90 as extensions that would not free on the standard cycle, and joined the census on medical record number to the clearance and authorization records so each referral showed what documentation was still missing. Refreshed daily and read by the CEO, clinical leadership, and the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
  • Owned documentation compliance for intake. Turned Medi-Cal medical-necessity rules into criteria and templates clinicians could apply, audited against them, and fixed what failed. No client of mine went unbilled for want of documentation.
  • Conducted in-person and virtual intake consultations at jails, hospitals, and inpatient clinics for dual-diagnosis clients; administered ANSA, AOA-07, SDOH, MSE, and ACE assessments, working from a stance of unconditional positive regard, and translated each assessment directly into a treatment plan.

Harm reduction & outreach

2023 – Present

Harm Reduction Program Lead

Independent — multiple festivals (incl. BAAAHS)

  • Designed the harm reduction program for BAAAHS, a large-scale queer arts community at festivals of ~200–800 attendees, including protocols for risk recognition, supportive engagement, and referral-to-care.

Systems work from other settings

2026 – Present

Project Lead & Digital Archivist

CRFW Archive

  • Authored and enforced the publishing policy for a dead person's personal material: verbatim-only sourcing, no machine-generated interpretation, and privacy holds on 89 of 866 archived posts because they named living people who had not consented — shipping 1,420 pages with zero restricted content reaching the public build.
  • Classified 317 private voice recordings for type and sensitivity against written handling rules — never characterize the subject's state of mind, flag rather than interpret, describe in eight words or fewer, name no living person — escalating 21 files to human review and producing an access tier recommendation of none-by-default for public.
  • Managed a bereaved family as the project's stakeholders and reviewers — running two rounds of feedback with the artist's mother, setting up a story-intake channel that defaults to unpublished and forbids automated outreach to grieving people, and drafting the approaches to collaborators, a photographer and a music writer.
2020 – 2021

Senior Project Manager

Jump450 Media

  • Co-founded agency PMO with SPMs and CCO; documented and distributed best practices across the agency.
  • Built an automated, Slack-integrated approval pipeline between Wegmans and Jump450 using Zapier, Slack, and Airtable — assets submitted to a single Slack channel landed in an organized Airtable database for quick approvals, shortening asset time-to-market from 2–3 weeks to 3–4 days and giving the team granular data on each asset's social and digital ad performance.
  • Re-engineered analytics reporting on a Tableau stack fed from Airtable and all of Wegmans' social, Google, and ad-tracker data, shifting biweekly output to quick screenshots instead of manual report-gathering — saving each team member 4–6 hours per week and cutting media-team labor on the account by ~one third while maintaining or increasing productivity.
