About Me

Leading Programs That Prepare People

I manage disaster preparedness programs and develop the volunteers who serve them. I've recruited and trained 150+ disaster responders, deployed across 6 states for large-scale operations, and built training curricula that are now standard across our Red Cross chapter. Whether I'm coordinating preparedness exercises with county emergency managers, running a shelter during a hurricane, or designing a new volunteer certification course, it comes down to the same thing: getting people ready so they can show up and do the work when it matters.

My Approach to Training Programs

Every training program I build starts with a simple question: what does success look like for the learner and the organization? Not what content needs to be covered, but what will people actually be able to do differently when they're done, and how do we know it's working? This learner-centered approach shapes everything from needs analysis to final assessment.

Let's Build Something Together

Whether you need help building a training program, developing your team, or redesigning how your organization prepares people for the work ahead, I'd love to talk.
