Hi, I’m jaclyn!
I’m a chaos coordinator & people whisperer —bridging the gaps between 'How?' and 'Who?'... and 'Where do we start?’.
I’ve got a knack for scaling nonprofits & companies — bringing Operations acumen & people-focused methods to effectively meet capacity needs to facilitate rapid growth while addressing unique industry challenges in an ever changing landscape.
How can I assist you?

In my most current Operations Director role at a consistently growing, medium-sized nonprofit research institute, this role drove human resources & recruitment to ensure FTE staff growth of more than 300%, increasing from 9 to 40 FTEs across more than 12 States. During years of significant revenue increase upwards of 800%, from $1mil to $9mil; this role has touched on- and impacted all areas of the organization including finance, strategy & internal policy, executing org-wide & executive initiatives, & day-to-day administrative & compliance requirements for the organization, staff, & programmatic work. What started as the only administrative role at the Organization became the role that created all the subsequent Departments including Development, Communications, Human Resources, and Project Management.
Roles with a blend of independent work & an opportunity to build interdepartmental collaboration & connectivity get me excited to start each day. Learning & understanding the unique needs & nuances of industries comes quickly & I’m not afraid to ask questions & keep on top of current workplace trends to improve efficiency.
Prior professional experience has been an eclectic array that has included industries & corporate structures including sole-proprietorships, start-ups, large corporations and everything in between; many nonprofits, iterations of healthcare industries, a bicycle components manufacturer, outdoor/sporting events & event crew; & beverage company.
