As the Vice President, Development at Junior Achievement of Georgia (JA of Georgia), I lead the strategy and execution of fundraising initiatives to support the organization's mission of inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. In my time at JA, I have built and maintained strong relationships with corporate partners, donors, and stakeholders, and secured multiple grants and contracts to fund the organization's programs and operations. I have also contributed to the growth and development of the development team, as well as the overall strategic direction and vision of the organization. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English from Georgia State University, where I honed my communication, writing, and analytical skills. I am passionate about empowering youth through education, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy, and I strive to leverage my skills and expertise in new business development, social networking, and team building to advance the goals and values of JA Georgia.
