EXPERIENCE
NATIONAL REACH
- I led a year-long 10-site demonstration project called Rural IMPACT, which combined training, technical assistance, and policy work to support two-generation approaches in rural and tribal communities. The project was commissioned by the White House Rural Council and included participation from 10 federal offices, the National Community Action Partnership, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- As a Senior Advisor at the Administration for Children and Families, I helped promote two-generation approaches in federal programs serving children and communities, through presentations, virtual trainings, and Information Memoranda that went to program leaders in all 50 states.
FORGING NEW PATHS
- As the first Director of Innovation Lab at CAP Tulsa, I led the design and implementation of CareerAdvance, a program that provided career pathways in healthcare for parents with children enrolled in high quality early childhood programs. Developed in partnerships with local post-secondary education institutions and academic experts, CareerAdvance was one of the first projects funded by a federal Health Profession Opportunities Grant, securing $10 million over 5 years.
- As the first Director of Community Health Equity at Ascension St. John in Tulsa, I developed and implemented the Community Health Equity Strategy (CHECS), a grant-making strategy to reduce health disparities and expanded a program delivering healthcare services to low-income uninsured adults. During my tenure, I grew the impact of this portfolio from $5 million to $12 million a year.
ENGAGING FAMILIES
- I led a cross-department team to increase parents' engagement in their child's education at CAP Tulsa, a 600-person agency serving over 2,000 families. Called Parents as Partners, the project's results included sharper definitions of family outcomes and success metrics, a Family Success Plan tool for helping families set goals and track progress, and marketing materials that aligned with the agency's two-generation approach.
