At SCOUTING AMERICA – WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS COUNCIL, I lead a comprehensive fundraising strategy that generates more than $600,000 annually for youth programs, camp operations, and organizational priorities.

I lead the Friends of Scouting annual giving campaign and manage a $240,000+ foundation and grant portfolio, including successful six-figure capital grant proposals. I also work with the Board of Directors, volunteers, donors, corporate partners, and foundations to expand support across Western Massachusetts.

At LITTLE FLOWER CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES OF NEW YORK, I supported fundraising for foster care, residential treatment, and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. I led strategy and sponsorship acquisition for annual events generating six-figure revenue, managed a six-figure in-kind donation program, and stewarded mid-level donors.

Earlier, at SUNRISE ASSOCIATION, I coordinated nine annual fundraising events supporting children with cancer and their siblings. I managed event logistics and budgets, developed event websites and registration platforms, and worked with volunteers and community partners.
