I am an enthusiastic fundraiser, event planner, and volunteer manager with nearly 10 years of fundraising and administrative experience at nonprofit organizations. Mission-driven organizations motivate me and now, I am pleased to be at UIC working to create opportunities for access to world-class education and research.I became a certified personal trainer in 2019 to share my love for resistance training and group fitness, and to make it more accessible for women who are hesitant about going to a gym or do not know where to start. Currently, in 2023, I am working on becoming a certified Pre and Post-natal coach!I thrive on human connection and like to take time to get to know people through genuine conversation. If you'd like to connect about all things fundraising, nonprofits, or fitness, feel free to reach out!
