What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in philanthropy or engagement where I can grow donor revenue, build stewardship programs, lead cross-sector teams, and mentor staff within mission-driven organizations.

I am a strategic nonprofit and public-sector leader with deep experience driving philanthropy, donor engagement, and high-impact events across healthcare, government and education sectors. I have led cross-functional teams, managed complex stakeholder relationships, and delivered measurable fundraising results, including increasing annual giving by over 200%.

I excel at building stewardship programs, designing multi-channel campaigns, and mentoring emerging talent to create resilient, high-performing teams that advance mission and community impact.
