Managing Director
I lead a team to advance IT training program and shape an innovative workforce development approach.
I serve as the face of Per Scholas in the National Capital Region, representing Per Scholas in regional conferences, meetings, and media opportunities. I develop and lead our local fundraising strategy as well as the implementation of our annual operating plan. I lead a team and facilitate regular performance management, professional development, and team meetings. I also prepare, manage, and grow the annual program budget.
