With over 15 years of experience in marketing, fundraising, and event planning, I’ve made it my mission to create lasting connections and spark positive change wherever I go. Currently, as the Director of Engagement at BD Performing Arts, I get to combine my love for the arts with the thrill of building relationships and driving our mission forward—empowering young artists through music, performance, and education. Whether it’s enhancing donor relationships or expanding outreach, I’m all about making an impact that matters.In previous roles, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams, managing large-scale budgets, and crafting marketing strategies that pack a punch. At American Hat Makers, I led a rebranding effort that transformed a 50-year-old company into a modern powerhouse, appealing to a whole new generation. The results? A whopping 46% increase in paid search conversions and a 14% boost in overall conversion rates. Before that, as Director of Sales & Marketing at Behind the Glass, LLC, I collaborated with professional athletes and national teams, crafting dynamic marketing campaigns that skyrocketed brand visibility and engagement.When it comes to donor cultivation, major gift solicitation, and event planning, I thrive on creating memorable experiences that inspire generosity. My time at Earp Events & Fundraising saw major gifts increase by 50% and overall fundraising revenue grow by 20%. From intimate gatherings to events with over 2,000 participants, I know how to turn an idea into an unforgettable experience.But that’s not all—I’m also a data nerd at heart. My background in digital marketing, brand strategy, eCommerce, and project management allows me to use insights and creativity to fuel growth. With tools like Salesforce CRM, HubSpot, and Google Workspace in my arsenal, I love diving into the details to optimize campaigns and maximize impact.I hold a B.A.A. in Business Administration from UC Berkeley and am certified in Amazon Advertising Sponsored Ads. As a proud member of the International Society of Female Professionals, I’m committed to lifelong learning and leadership.As I continue this journey, my focus remains on building strong community connections, pushing the boundaries of creativity, and helping organizations reach new heights. Let’s make something amazing together!
