Experienced front-line fundraisier and business developer with expert financial and program management skills seeking a new opportunity as a senior level fundraiser in the nonprofit sector. Authentic, responsive, and a dependable leader are words that my colleagues and team members have used to describe me. It is humbling to hear those words when you know you are just being you, not doing anything different to elicit such a response.My career has been unique, beginning as a nonprofit fundraiser, moved to transformative coaching with my own practice, and then, when the opportunity emerged, into a commercial real estate venture for the last eight years. Along the way, my leadership skills have developed, most notably with my ability to make a connection with people. My natural curiosity and attentive listening help to cultivate relationships built on trust. It is my formula to successfully influence without authority, forging alliances and securing cooperation on projects and transactions. It is no secret that I do not shy away from challenging problems. With a fearless approach, I use my experience and knowledge to find creative, equitable solutions to negotiate a complex agreement or promote a new strategy.I am always striving to improve my position to deliver leadership excellence and make a new connection.
