NPF is the official national philanthropic partner of the National Park Service and a rapidly growing organization with annual revenue and support of $200+ million, programmatic impact of $150 million, an operating budget of $40 million, 120+ staff, and an awe-inspiring mission. In this role, I served as advisor and deputy to the President and CEO and communicated and implemented the vision and goals as outlined by the CEO and the Board. Under the Board’s direction, my objectives were to 1) make national parks a philanthropic priority for all Americans., 2) meet the National Park Service’s top priority needs around climate resiliency, inclusive storytelling, next generation relevancy, and the 21st century visitor experience, and 3) elevate NPF and the 400+ park partner community's capacity to deliver greater impact to national parks.

I was hired by the Board of Directors to advance three strategic goals: (1) stabilize the financial position of the Museum and shift away from an overreliance on the Board endowment, (2) develop strategic goals and objectives and drive accountability across the organization to meet those objectives, and (3) make art accessible to all audiences by way of creative and innovative new initiatives and programs. Several accomplishments include the successful reaccreditation from the American Alliance of Museums, leading the development, fundraising, and implementation of an unprecedented initiative to install world-renown sculptures in Balboa Park, launching an award-winning App, modernizing 1/3 of the Museum's physical environment, and elevating the Museum, its restaurant and programming into a destination for San Diegans – particularly younger and more diverse audiences.
