At Memorial Park Conservancy, I developed a corporate engagement model that secured over $60,000 in earned revenue across four corporate partners. I also implemented premiere rentals and vendor partnerships that generated more than $50,000 in new revenue year-over-year.

I launched an annual events and programming calendar and established wellness workshops and cultural events that engaged up to 1,000 participants per session. I coordinated schedules and logistics across departments to deliver community initiatives and executive deliverables.

At Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, I directed strategy and logistics for 12–15 annual executive and donor cultivation events. I introduced SOPs and Monday.com workflows to improve project tracking, internal communications, and data reporting.

Earlier, at San Francisco General Hospital Foundation, I secured $200,000 in in-kind media sponsorships and launched a virtual speaker series to sustain donor engagement. Across my nonprofit work, I’ve supported executive leaders and boards, managed fundraising events, and developed donor and corporate partnerships.
