"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver, "The Summer Day" As a performing artist turned fundraising professional, I am passionate about the intersection of storytelling and strategic stewardship in the philanthropy sector. Driven by maintaining donor relationships, and empowering life-long giving towards missions I wholeheartedly believe in, I value details, cross-team collaboration, and analyzing data. Outside of work, you can find me adding a book recommendation to my Goodreads, planning a dinner party, or visiting an antique shop. I look forward to connecting.
