Cristina Ruggiero

Summary

I'm a growth oriented leader with 15+ years of experience in health, human services, education and community organizations. With my servant leadership approach, I excel at developing strategy, building partnerships, managing projects, leading teams and using data to implement change. And if you want to know even more: Confident in presenting to various audiences both virtually and in person, I am a persuasive, clear communicator and skilled writer. My superiors and colleagues commend me for being an effective collaborator, problem solver and relationship builder with a diverse set of clients, colleagues and stakeholders. Being curious and authentic enables me to build credibility and develop partnerships. With my pro-active orientation, I'm always looking to research new ideas, analyze data or develop new processes in order to drive improvements and make change. As a agile learner, I adapt and thrive in high energy environments. Personally, as a first-generation American and college student and through my professional and volunteer endeavors, I seek to empower others and embed inclusive practices into my work. While I'm not a native Pittsburgher, and more a soccer than football fan (sorry Steeler Nation!), I'm happy I've found my home here.
