What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead donor-facing digital engagement, storyteller-driven campaigns, and event marketing—using analytics to prove impact. I want a collaborative team that values people-centered communication and measurable growth.

I’m a nonprofit digital engagement and development professional who approaches marketing as a way to create connection, evoke emotion, and build community through intentional storytelling. I specialize in donor engagement campaigns, social content creation, email and website coordination, and event marketing that strengthens relationships and visibility.

In my current role as a Development & Digital Engagement Coordinator, I lead end-to-end development operations—from donor management and financial processing to stewardship, reporting, and compliance. I support donor cultivation through multi-channel communications and campaign storytelling, while partnering with leadership using clear analytics and performance reporting.

I also serve as lead staff for signature fundraising events and capital campaigns. For example, I helped deliver a record-breaking $128K at the ParTee Golf Classic within the first five months, supported $503K+ through the 2025 Festival of Trees, and contributed to a $1.6M, two-year Family Birth Center capital campaign.

Previously, as a Marketing and Communications Director for United Way of Skagit County, I managed marketing and fundraising event responsibilities, including sponsorship procurement, donor management, and digital communications like newsletters and social media. Before that, I grew audience engagement and delivered influencer and social strategy as a Social Media Coordinator/Manager and freelance strategist, pairing creativity with performance insights to help brands and nonprofits grow.
