I’m a passionate and purpose-driven fundraising professional with a proven history of building lasting philanthropic partnerships and advancing mission-aligned giving strategies. My whole career demonstrates my dexterity in capital campaign execution, major gifts, and strategic fundraising planning—especially when it comes to cultivating authentic donor relationships that drive transformational impact. Always a public servant, I am mission-driven and thrive by collaborating with others to execute data-driven fundraising programs. One of my key strengths lies in aligning donor passions with bold institutional goals, using a blend of research, storytelling, and data to craft compelling cases for support. Throughout my journey, I’ve partnered with high-net-worth individuals, nonprofit boards, and cross-functional teams to launch successful campaigns, develop personalized solicitation strategies, and foster lasting engagement through thoughtful stewardship. I’ve had the privilege of shaping and executing fundraising initiatives across major giving programs, planned giving, prospect research, and event-based fundraising. I thrive in collaborative environments, guiding teams through every phase of development while infusing emotional intelligence and strategic foresight into every interaction.
