I lead nonprofit advancement campaigns that grow giving, engage donors, and mobilize volunteers.

At The Ellis School, I lead advancement operations supporting $1M in annual philanthropy, securing leadership gifts of $50,000–$500,000 and increasing annual giving by 25% to $800K annually.

I partner with school and board leadership on institutional campaigns, donor stewardship, volunteer coordination, and reporting. I manage four fundraising professionals and mobilize more than 100 volunteers while expanding alumnae engagement and strengthening the major-donor pipeline.

Previously, at The Emery/Weiner School, I contributed to a $20M capital campaign, grew annual giving by 40%, and coordinated a flagship event generating $550K annually. My earlier work at The Katherine Delmar Burke School included increasing gala revenue from $375K to $525K and leading alumnae engagement with more than 300 volunteers.
