Advancement Operations Manager at Westminster, improving gift processes and reporting across philanthropic operations.

United States

Message

At Westminster, I oversee philanthropic fund allocation and reconciliation, support audit activities, and lead updates to gift acceptance policies. I also generate financial and constituent reports and lead implementation projects for tracking multi-year commitments.

Previously, I supported gift processing, payment-system integrations, and data cleanup at Westminster. At The CDG, I led process improvements that increased revenue by $50,000, reduced discrepancies, and improved appointment availability.
