About

I am a client success and program coordination professional with over five years of experience, most recently working remotely as a Community Access Specialist at Pacific Science Center since 2021. My work spans managing partner accounts, resolving escalations, and coordinating cross-functional teams to support mobile programming initiatives. I have built and maintained CRM and reporting systems, managed fund allocation and compliance, and operated platforms such as CampDoc, Stripe, FishBowl, QuickBooks, Microsoft 365, and G Suite to support client and program operations.
