Fundraising Lead with Startup Expertise, Skilled Writer, Passionate Educator I’m a vibrant and energetic fundraiser with expertise at the intersection of Technology and Education. I invigorate the fundraising process through creative leadership, management, and stewardship of the ask and relationship. I target impact through increased individual, institutional, and corporate giving and by partnering closely with marketing on brand messaging. I foster relationships with ambassadors, influencers, and everyday evangelists to keep the public informed and excited about our impact, while encouraging giving and involvement via financial, volunteer, and peer-to-peer support. I'm a creative and articulate thought partner, thrilled to be a member of a startup team and welcome construction of knowledge in community with others. In my writing and speaking I enjoy sharing information by educating a wide audience, encouraging excitement about individual impact potential with prospective allies and partners. I view every interaction as an opportunity to build community, increase commitment, and change the world together. In recent years I’ve written education grant proposals, technical best practice papers, cloud computing technical documentation, release notes, and blog posts to blend subject matter expert interviews with research. With a background in public education and as a writing and professionalism instructor for young adults, and as a tech writer/editor, my work fuses instruction with innovation. I produce a quality product in a timely manner to fit the needs of my organization.
