Work History
President
Emma C. Brisbane Foundation Inc.
4045 Bronxwood Avenue, Bronx, NY, 10466
04.2005 - Current
I inherited the Emma C. Brisbane Foundation Inc. from my Grandmother, Emma C. Brisbane, in 2005. My Grandmother was in her 90's building this company ground up. She didn't comply to many regulations. I enhanced company performance by implementing strategic plans to come into compliance while overseeing daily operations.
I oversee budget management and resource allocation for various foundation projects. I also manage a Quickbooks accounting system and Taxerone online software tax filing for a 501 c 3 non-profit corporation.
Developed partnerships with local organizations to increase resource availability and outreach. I rent our facility to churches on Sunday. I have developed partnerships with my church affiliates. We are presently trying to restructure our summer camp program.
We also received a New York Yankee Grant. The grant was for $1500. I like it because its unencumbered. You propose what you need the money for and if you are granted the funds you must prove you spent the funds on your proposal. We proposed the purchase of a new smart board. We received the grant and bought the smart board. I tutor students on the smart board. Spearheaded fundraising campaigns resulting in sustainable financial support for foundation programs.
Drove revenue growth by expanding product offerings to include more tutoring. I Zoom Tutor the Algebra 1 Regents Examination. and elementary math tutor one student on the premises. We will also tutor for the GED and SAT. We also have more facility rentals for churches and community functions.
I hire and manage employees to maximize productivity while training staff on best practices and protocols. We are about to expand for the summer camp. I will try to hire staff from SYEP and my church affiliates. I also hire contractors, plumbers, electricians, painters, for building maintenance issues.
I managed all crisis situations effectively while minimizing disruption to daily operations.
Collaborated with board members to establish long-term goals and operational strategies daily. I hold our board meetings in restaurants. We are in constant communication. I have the most supportive board.
I increased customer satisfaction through continuous improvement initiatives and excellent customer service. When my customers write a negative Google post it is cause for reflection and change. I might consider pricing changes too. We also consider changes in our service.
