I have more than 10 years of experience in nonprofit fundraising and programming. I am passionate about fundraising and helping organizations and communities thrive. As a well-rounded development professional, I have experience and success in individual giving, donor stewardship, corporate and foundation partnerships, donor education and engagement, partnership development, grant writing, donor recognition and benefit fulfillment, event production, and campaign development. I am particularly passionate about connecting people with wealth to communities and causes that deserve their investment. I am also deeply committed to advancing causes that matter like anti-racism, reparative justice for communities of color, climate justice, democracy, reproductive justice to name just a few. I believe that philanthropy can and must play a leading role in building a world where everyone can thrive. In my current role at Action for the Climate Emergency, I enjoy connecting philanthropists with opportunities to resource work at the nexus of youth, climate, democracy, and strategic communications.
