Kayla Manning

Operations Specialist / Project Management Expert / Blogger / Travel Addict / Triathlon Enthusiast

I’m currently living in Orlando, Florida and working in Washington, DC (that is right, I fly a good bit) at The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) as the Vice President of Operations.

I revamp workflows, manage data, provide in-depth financial analysis, and occasionally plan events. I also oversee all day-to-day operational aspects of the organization: accounting, technology, human resources, and internal operations. I have a widespread curiosity for systems and processes; with an unapologetic obsession for improving them through efficiency and effectiveness. I have a talent for tackling new projects; the ability to think of them in a big picture sense while focusing on small details and ensuring a successful implementation period. My greatest strength is my ability to translate vision into action.

In short, I'm a dot-connector, a problem-solver, a calculated risk-taker, and an expert idea-generator.

When I’m not working you can find me:

• training for a triathlon
• traveling
• philosophizing on the importance of the Oxford comma
