I oversee individual giving (annual fund, middle, and major donors) and donor communications for Young Women Empowered. I work with the board and development committee to engage community members as allies, providing them the opportunities to dedicate their time, talent, and treasure to ensure that young women step up as leaders in their schools, communities, and the world.

In February 2014, I decided I wanted to take my youth development skills on the road. I founded my own non-profit consulting company, Data Girl Consulting. Data Girl provides support in three areas: Program Development, Research and Evaluation, and Team Building, Retreats and Meetings.

I worked with the board to refine the organization's mission and vision, strengthen the board and develop a new strategy. Through this work, it became clear that InfluenceHer aligned well with the Women's Funding Alliance. I reached out to WFA, and worked with WFA staff and InfluenceHer board members to negotiate a merger between these two complementary organizations.

I've been facilitating meetings with senior-level management to create a strategy for implementing the YPQI organization-wide (developing the timeline, communication plan, and budget, as well as identifying staff development needs and opportunities). In addition to my program quality work, I've been work on two projects with the Director of Diversity and Advocacy: a thorough analysis of demographic trends in our council's catchment area, and a focus group project to engage girls as participatory researchers. The demographic analysis project included analyzing the data we had in house, reviewing literature, and ultimately presenting the trends to senior leadership and regional office staff. For the focus group project, I've been working with community partners to set up groups across Western Washington, recruiting volunteers (girl and adult) to conduct focus groups, and developing the research protocol and questions.

My job had two parts: Volunteer Management and Program Quality measurement and improvement. As the Outreach department volunteer manager, I created a volunteer engagement strategy to recruit, train, and provide support to a diverse group of young professionals and alumni volunteers to support our programs serving girls facing social and economic barriers.

As the Outreach department volunteer manager, I created a volunteer engagement strategy to recruit, train, and provide support to a diverse group of young professionals and alumni volunteers to support our programs serving girls facing social and economic barriers. I developed volunteer position descriptions, intake processes, recruitment strategies, training, recognition, and re-engagement procedures for the department, which previously did not work with community volunteers. I built relationships with community partners (including the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington and Seattle Works) to recruit volunteers for our organization. While wearing my Program Quality hat, I led department-wide effort to expand YPQA participation to staff in all programs. I trained staff in the YPQI, and then conducted 20 YPQA observations and facilitated 20 goal setting meetings with managers and front-line staff.Additionally, I led a strategic-learning sub-committee comprised of staff and board members as part of our 2012 strategic planning effort. I also provided event-planning support to State of the Girl Summit attended by 75 policy makers, academics, thought leaders, youth workers, and business leaders. Show less
