What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior fundraising or development role at a mission-driven organization where I can lead donor strategy, manage major gifts and events, mentor teams, and drive sustainable revenue growth in a collaborative culture.

I am a fundraising and development leader with 18 years of experience building donor programs, managing grants, and producing high-impact events that consistently exceed revenue goals.

I have spearheaded annual giving campaigns securing more than $1M, managed portfolios of 75+ mid-level donors, coordinated events raising $250,000+, administered $500k in grants, and overseen donor databases and annual operating budgets; I combine strategic planning, rebranding, and stewardship to grow sustainable revenue.
