Experience

Northern Border Regional Commission Nbrc
Jul 2024 — Present
My role at NBRC is a liaison and connector between our external partners and our internal team on the topic of capacity. I have an intimate understanding of how challenging accessing and utilizing funding can be for our external partners. Ultimately, in my role, I am striving to make our processes more accessible and achievable by our external partners while not making it exponentially more complicated for our internal staff.
