In my current role, I oversee the generation of accurate and timely daily and monthly reports, while meticulously managing time entries on timesheets and sourcing resources for clients. Serving as an Executive Board member, I played a pivotal role during the Covid-19 pandemic, and I also hold an Advisory Board position with the DC Commission on People with Disabilities, fostering collaborative relationships with community groups. As the Co-Chair of the Advocacy and Public Policy Committee, I testify on Capitol Hill, engaging with Congress and DC Council members. Actively participating in training programs and staying informed about project objectives, I oversee intern work, educate staff on program procedures, and provide administrative support to ensure operational excellence. I proficiently manage digital and physical filing systems, organize meetings, and distribute team-based communications.
