About Kendra Haigler

As a woman of strength and leadership, I am committed to making a mark and leaving a lasting impact on people I have come across through my profession. Throughout my years of service, I have acquired skills in healthcare and legal practices, furthering my knowledge and understanding of the advancement of legal and regulatory compliance management and employee administration. I have earned notable achievements throughout my career that I would love to share: Administering funds in the amounts of $475K+ for clients,$850K+ for staff salary, performance, and retention incentives, in addition to $80K+ for nutrition. Practicing due diligence in the documentation for transparency and accountability. Adeptly relocating 20+ employees due to the demands of Covid-19 to mitigate the company\'s financial hardship. Garnering profitability of $65K+ annually due to eliminating overtime payments as a result of limited staffing. Driving an increase in employee retention by 69% and acquiring re-certification from the Alabama Department of Mental Health and a 10-year re-certification from the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL) for human service providers. Steering a team of one (1) residential coordinator, thirteen (13) managerial staff, and sixty (60) direct support staff that provides services to 100+ individuals with intellectual and developmental disorders. Passionate and purposeful in this journey, I hope to flourish while strengthening my skills by joining a company that shares the same drive and spirit. I am more than capable of working independently or harmoniously within a group, willing to grow with others while fostering a cheerful disposition in a high-pressure and fast-paced environment.
