ACTIVELY SEEKING MY NEXT ROLE IN THE PHILANTHROPY AND SOCIAL IMPACT SECTORS IN A POSITION SUCH AS PROGRAM OFFICER, FOUNDATION DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR, OR COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER. IN THE CORPORATE WORLD, I'M ATTRACTED TO ROLES SUCH AS FOUNDATION DIRECTOR, CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY MANAGER, AND CUSTOMER SUCCESS MANAGER. About Me:A city girl with Midwest roots and East coast influence, I spent a decade with Marriott Hotels until I was bit by the “nonprofit bug” that launched a twenty-plus year career serving mission-driven organizations in a variety of fundraising, alumni and member relations, operations and events management roles. With this service mindset, I started a social enterprise to support women rebuilding their lives through the making of furniture and home décor using reclaimed wood and materials. I am a graduate and former board member of the BUILD Institute and currently serve my alma mater, Central College in Pella, Iowa, on its National Advisory Council. My love for old buildings led me to the historic Detroit loft I call home where I also serve as Treasurer for its homeowners' association.Outside of my career, my true passion is travel and exploration (I love it when I can combine work and travel!). When not traveling, you’ll find me exploring Detroit’s Woodbridge, Midtown, and New Center neighborhoods with my bestest boy and champion Belgian Sheepdog, Brady, while Meg, the Tabby Cat, lounges at home.AREAS OF EXPERTISE• Philanthropy• Community Building• Networking, Relationship and Partnership Building• Business Development and Scaling• Strategic Planning• Board Engagement• Communication and Storytelling• Program and Process Design, Management and Evaluation• Budgeting/Finance, P/L Management• Contract Management and Negotiations• Fundraising, Sales and Marketing• Economic Development, Entrepreneurship, and Social Enterprise• Hospitality, Events, and Facilities Management• Staff and Team Development
