Accreditation Manager · AI integration for non-profits

Summary

Accreditation manager moving into AI integration for non-profits. Fourteen years inside the sector — casework, supervision and accreditation management — and the operational knowledge to tell where AI genuinely helps from where it only adds a system nobody updates. Identified an AI opportunity at Social Current, developed the proposal and secured approval to integrate it into departmental operations. Ships production software independently using Claude Code and Codex, so briefs to developers are grounded in what the tools actually do. Program development, strategic planning, team leadership and stakeholder engagement across all of it.
