As the Director of Development and Public Relations at Netcare Access, a non-profit organization that provides behavioral health services, I leverage my 10+ years of experience in fundraising and marketing to advance our mission and vision. I am the sole fundraiser and marketing individual at an organization with a budget exceeding $16 million, and I am responsible for developing and implementing effective strategies that attract and retain donors, partners, and grantors. I also play a crucial role in enhancing our public image and expanding our reach. I am passionate about being creative and innovative, and I am inspired by the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of the people we serve. I am a member of the Franklinton Board of Trade and the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and I hold a bachelor's degree in communications and public relations from The Ohio State University and a master's degree in marketing from Franklin University.
