What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven copywriter, researcher, and data analyst with extensive professional experience across multiple industries, including film, television, event ticketing, audience measurement, brand marketing, and major-gift fundraising. My journey has been defined by a commitment to pushing the boundaries of marketing communications and strategic analytics.
As the Associate Director of Advancement Services at the University of Southern California, I identified and qualified high net worth donor prospects, supporting various funding initiatives, including the $3 billion USC Campaign for University of Southern Health. My role involved compiling detailed major-gift prospect dossiers that were critical to senior leaders’ management strategies, ensuring the effective movement of prospects through the development pipeline to maximize ROI.
Previously, I served as a Billing Systems Analyst at Cineverse Corporation, where I ensured the integrity of network operating center data related to digital cinema hardware performance. My analytical skills were further honed as a Research Associate at R&CPMK, where I collected and analyzed market research data, providing comprehensive reports that relayed key insights and trends for major consumer brands.
