About Whitney Oliver

With over 18 years of experience in developing and managing community programs, I have honed my skills in planning and executing recreational activities for large groups of up to attendees. My expertise includes managing budgets, supervising staff and volunteers, liaising with community partners, and promoting programs. As a 3-time recipient of the "Outstanding Performance and Recognition" award from Readiness Management Support and the President's award for "Outstanding Community Service", I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams to success. My strengths as a leader include excellent interpersonal skills, sound judgment, and a firm leadership presence. I prioritize tasks effectively and excel in both individual and team work environments. I have a friendly and professional attitude and always maintain a strong work ethic. As an Associate Program Director at the Dallas Bethlehem Center, I rebranded and promoted a popular program within the network, which grew its audience by 305% within six months. I managed and evaluated a team of 25 staff and volunteers to ensure quality programs and resources were used effectively. Additionally, I established a culture that emphasized program achievement, support of peers, and leadership development. Previously, I worked as a Morale, Welfare and Recreation Lead at Sallyport Global Holdings, where I planned and facilitated monthly recreational calendars to ensure activities consistently met approval standards and contract compliance, while boosting the morale of base personnel. I also worked as a Senior Recruiter at Staff Force Personnel Services, where I partnered with hiring managers to build effective sourcing, assessment, and closing approaches. I recruited qualified passive candidates and built exceptional client relationships by providing improvement of service quality. As a Recruiter/Trainer at Scoobeez Inc, I recruited qualified driver candidates and facilitated weekly driver training courses. At Sagora Senior Living, I worked as a Lifestyle Director, where I planned, implemented, directed, and coordinated activities and events for over 150 senior residents. Finally, as a Deputy Site Manager at URS Group, Inc, I provided leadership, management, and support for the Air Force services contract. Overall, I bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and skills to any project I undertake. I am always eager to take on new challenges and contribute to the success of my team and organization.
