Thank you for visiting my LinkedIn page. One of the first things I want you to know, is that I love the work I do as a fundraising consultant! (I never thought I would be in this field, but that is a conversation for another time(!))My philosophy is built on the belief that people want to be part of a community that is making a meaningful contribution. I have seen this confirmed throughout my career and continue to be inspired by the talented and dedicated staff and volunteers I work with. I believe organizations provide great value, not only to the people they serve but also to the people they invite as partners to invest their time, talent, and treasure. This informs how I approach my work as a fundraising consultant.
