I began my journey at the National Museum of the American Indian, initially stepping into donor relations out of necessity due to staff constraints. My passion for working with donors grew from there, driven by a commitment to excellence and proactive problem-solving. Over my career, I've navigated various transitions, which propelled me to new opportunities and shaped my dedication to meaningful work.In my current role as Donor Relations Manager at the National Park Foundation, I manage donor relations with a focus on nurturing lifetime stewardship and enhancing donor experiences. Previously, at institutions like Adventist HealthCare and Asbury Methodist Village, I excelled in annual giving management and community relations, expanding donor bases and fostering strategic partnerships. My approach combines strategic thinking with cross-functional collaboration to achieve organizational goals and elevate donor engagement across diverse sectors. Drawing on my past experience and the resilience instilled by my parents, I approach challenges with a positive, diplomatic, and solution-oriented mindset. Outside of work, I find joy in reading, completing jigsaw puzzles, and continually seeking new perspectives and learning opportunities. I’m always open to expanding my network. Feel free to connect!
