What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use art, strategy, and compassion to support mission-driven programs that connect and uplift communities.

I'm leading communications, marketing, and advancement at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation, where I build campaigns that strengthen philanthropic growth and institutional visibility.

My work across fundraising, donor communications, digital content, events, and storytelling has helped secure over $12 million in donations and grants and supported more than $2.5 million in scholarship awards. I collaborate with leadership, students, alumni, agencies, and community partners to share student success and organizational impact.

Previously at Achievement Centers for Children & Families Foundation, I led marketing initiatives that generated more than $1.5 million through Annual Fund campaigns and supported over 36 fundraising and community events generating more than $6 million. I bring a foundation in graphic design, human services, and compassionate community engagement to every project.
