I have spent my career building relationships through seamless client service to high-net-worth individuals.My recent shift to the nonprofit sector now allows me to connect people by serving noble missions and promote major fundraising initiatives in addition to event planning. My ability to maintain a strategic mindset while managing the details of multiple projects is key to my success.At the Atlantic Council I gained a fuller understanding of how programs seek funding for their work and how fundraising and finance intersect. Previously, I completed a short-term assignment at the Meridian International Center where I was instrumental in exceeding fundraising goals for the 53rd Annual Meridian Ball raising $1.5M despite pandemic restrictions. I served as a Chief of Staff to the Regional President of BNY Mellon Wealth Management where we partnered with high-net-worth individuals and families to achieve their personal and financial goals. I was the primary point of contact for those clients whenever they had questions or needed information. In addition, I helped to establish strong relationships with many nonprofits while boosting visibility and brand recognition for BNYM. I oversaw the planning and execution of many customized event experiences designed to entertain and introduce our clients to respected thought leaders.Additionally, I’m deeply involved with a variety of nonprofit and community organizations:• Co-launching the Factory Society, an arts nonprofit whose mission is to educate and inspire a community of emerging art collectors.• Strategizing with BUILD-DC on strategic planning and sourcing new individual donor relationships.• Fundraising for Suited for Change by focusing on potential sponsors with aligned goals.KEY AREAS OF EXPERTISE:Advantageous Relationship Building • Client Service • Project Management • Fundraising • Networking • HNW segment interaction • Writing • Full Cycle Event Management • Planning
