What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a nonprofit organization where I can leverage my skills and experience to drive meaningful change and make a positive impact in my community.

As a seasoned nonprofit professional, I have a proven track record of cultivating existing and new relationships, increasing giving for annual campaigns and events, and developing solid approaches to planned giving. My expertise in enhancing and improving an organization's public image through education via social media connections has allowed me to reach untapped donor bases through events and public speaking engagements.

With a strong background in donor engagement, cultivation, and grant applications and management, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to drive results and exceed expectations. My experience in strategic positioning and planning, community relations, and public relations has enabled me to build strong relationships with key stakeholders and drive organizational growth.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to making a positive impact in my community, and I am passionate about working with nonprofit organizations to drive meaningful change.
