What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my nonprofit fundraising, CRM, customer engagement, data systems, and staff-training experience to improve revenue, participant experiences, and operational effectiveness.

I've spent more than 20 years at the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association leading philanthropic customer data, technology systems, staff training, and development strategies.

In my current Matching Gifts Operations Specialist role, I partner with development leadership to plan and implement revenue-generating strategies and manage online fundraising approaches that engage participants, volunteers, donors, and sponsors. I've consulted on online fundraising goals including $1M in new dollars through targeted events, social networking, mobile applications, and other fundraising technology.

I've also led customer information systems, CRM training, data-quality support, customer experience, and engagement strategies across 11 states. My work connects business process improvement, coaching, and technology with the mission-driven needs of nonprofit teams and donors.
