  Miracle Foundation

  Mar 2024 - now

  Head of Business Operations

  I oversee Global Operations for Miracle Foundation, including legal, human resources, and culture all while optimizing cross functional and international capacities. In short, my mission is to support the healthy growth and expansion of our work. Miracle Foundation is an international nonprofit that helps orphans and foster children find a safe, stable, and permanent family. Whether in an orphanage or in the Foster Care System, our mission is a family for every child in our lifetime. For the past 22 years, Miracle Foundation has improved the lives of more than 164,000 children—but this is just the beginning. Today, we are a worldwide leader ending the need for orphanages by 2040. To achieve this, we are actively uniting children with families, we are educating the social work force to prevent children from entering the system, and we are creating technology to easily scale our work. Founded in 2000, Miracle Foundation has earned the highest rating by Charity Navigator, an organization that evaluates charities for effectiveness and financial transparency. Show less
