What I'm looking for

With more than 14 years of nonprofit development experience, I bring a combination of prospect research, donor analytics, CRM management, stewardship, major event planning, fundraising operations, and leadership support. I am seeking a mission-driven organization growing its fundraising capacity through research, prospect donor information, and effective development operations.

At TRU COMMUNITY CARE, I manage and support donor stewardship initiatives and oversee Raiser’s Edge CRM to support accurate donor data, reporting, and relationship management.

I conduct donor research and analyze giving histories to support qualification, cultivation, and solicitation strategies. I also develop donor-focused communications with Marketing & Communications, reaching more than 7,000 constituents.

In 2025, I secured more than $137,250 in event sponsorship revenue and supported three major fundraising events serving more than 500 attendees and generating over $261,000. I manage event planning from concept development and budgeting through logistics and post-event stewardship.

Previously, as Executive Assistant & Donor Relations at HOSPICE OF NORTHERN COLORADO (HNC), I supported donor engagement, fundraising reporting, and community outreach. I also worked as an Independent Agent & Notary, managing documentation and time-sensitive assignments.
