  • Direct experience working within unionized environments and managing collective bargaining agreements.

  • Proven ability to engage, lead, and establish healthy boundaries with a highly passionate, mission-driven employee base.

  • Ability to develop personnel frameworks or management styles tailored to high-stress, 24/7, and shift-based crisis-focused environments.

Workplace Inclusion and Cultural Competency

  • Deep empathy for the systemic challenges and intersectional realities facing LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities, with the ability to ensure HR systems and benefits maintain cultural competency and affirming language.
