Experienced, strategic and relationship-focused. I adore the world of major gifts and naturally gravitate to working on complex projects. I like donors with high standards and organizations that deliver. I’m big on relationship building – both professionally and personally – and I prefer to focus my energies on long term, meaningful engagement that culminates in significant investment.I’m at optimist who is proud that my professional relationships last over time, that I had former trustees at my wedding, that I’ve been hired by neighbors and believe in mentoring the next generation of superstars. I’ve been a resident of Los Angeles since the early ‘80s and I’m a Canadian citizen who dreams of moving back to British Columbia during every late August heatwave.Save the Children is so much more than a job. I work here because I believe that every child matters and that each is no less important than my own. Fundamentally, I believe in a world where positive change is possible.
