ABOUT
ME
Passionate About Making Your Life Easier
I work with nonprofit teams who are doing big things with limited time, tight budgets, and hearts fully in it, and I love stepping-in to make their lives easier. Whether it’s building a fundraising strategy, re-energizing lapsed donors, or helping them finally hire that long-overdue development lead, I bring clarity, structure, and a little breathing room.
My goal? To be a steady, collaborative partner who gets stuff done, helps your mission grow, and leaves your team stronger than when I arrived.

I've been in-house, in the weeds, and in the field. I know what it takes to fund your mission. I start with value alignment. I lead with humility, approaching every client and project with curiosity, respect, and a collaborative spirit. I care deeply about doing excellent work and giving 100%, not just the minimum, because the outcomes matter as much as the effort. I bring joy to the process, believing that while fundraising is serious work, it doesn’t have to be joyless. I show up with energy, humor, and a true sense of partnership. I work with integrity and follow-through, keeping my word and delivering what I promise with clarity and care. And I strive to lead with confidence and compassion, offering a steady, values-driven presence in moments of uncertainty, transition, or growth. I also believe the best solutions are built with diverse voices at the table. Equity and inclusion aren’t add-ons. They’re essential to creating fundraising strategies that truly serve people and communities. I approach every project with humility, curiosity, and a deep commitment to equity. That means centering lived experience, designing inclusive systems, and making space for everyone to be seen, heard, and valued. I'm always learning and I'm proud to work alongside partners who are doing the same.
