Caring for Hawai'i Neonates

  I managed the day to day operations which include answering questions from the community, scheduling meetings with shareholders and stakeholders, as well as managing the annual budget.

Chaminade University of Honolulu

• United States
• Higher Education
• 200 - 300 Employee

• Program Manager

  • Feb 2016 - Aug 2018

  I managed every day to day aspect of the School of Nursing at Chaminade University. This included daily operations, oversight of an employee and paid student workers, communicating en masse to nursing students, other university departments, and external partner organizations. I have also worked together with the Dean and Chief Nurse Administrator to account for the budget, I processed checks, travel requests, and petty cash requests. I also coordinated short- and long- termprojects that include 25 to hundreds of people such as Chaminade School of Nursing’s annual New Student Commitment Ceremony, Dean's Team, Alumni Mixer, Clinical Partner Recognition Program, and Nursing Pinning Ceremony. I coordinated office meetings, greeted individuals who came to the door, coordinated the School of Nursing course schedules in partnership with the rooms scheduler and other departments, and maintained office supplies. The most important evidence of my ability to manage and coordinate long-term projects was planning and executing every aspect of a re-accreditation for the Chaminade School of Nursing. I personally provided detailed supervision to the production of a high quality self-study, organization of evidence of student and program success, preparation for the site visit, and coordination of the evaluation team visit. This labor of love led to the program receiving its first 10 year reaccreditation recognition in May 2018.
