Experience
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Program Administrator
Jun 2024 — Present · Newport News, VA, US
I lead the City’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging strategy by developing and implementing policies, programs, and action plans that advance equity across all departments. I identify and remove structural barriers, provide expert guidance to employees and elected officials, and integrate DEI principles into recruitment, hiring, training, and career development. I partner with departments to build inclusive workplace practices, establish and evaluate DEI metrics, and deliver clear communication to increase awareness of DEI initiatives. I design and facilitate DEI training, support employee resource groups and committees, and serve as a key change agent driving equitable and inclusive outcomes citywide.
