Prospective Employers

Seeking Senior Leadership & Management Position

Recruiters may consider my LinkedIn page as a pathway to understanding a near 30-year proven track record of senior leadership and management of diverse teams in mission-driven organizations. My experience is grounded in professional administrative work that includes writing including executive, investigative, functional, and informative reports; full-cycle human resources including recruiting, interviewing, negotiating salaries, hiring, on-boarding, employee training and development, assessment, testing, and evaluating, and case, program, and project management in non-profits and the public-sector. I have supervised up to 26 employees, managed more than $2M budgets, overseen and coordinated the general operations of an organization and/or department while adhering to rules and regulations, and exercised independent and shared responsibility for the development of policies and procedures. Every position I have held has required participation in strategic planning, initiatives, collaborations, team building, public speaking, and adaptive leadership.

Rochell shares how she came to realize that she had been rather successful even though she had been operating and functioning with obstacles and limitations all of her life. Rochell recognized although obstacles and limitations were clear and present, she had successfully been able to ignore them in some, overcome them in others, and completely eliminate them in many instances!
