I specialize in connecting people with ideas and each other--and helping find funding sources to make it all happen. I'm organized, passionate, and effective. My career has evolved from health care into human services, gradually expanding into fund development. I discovered an interest in and aptitude for public advocacy and outreach and have become an active member of several organizations, including my community council. I excel in outreach and communication—particularly using social media—and I have experience in community organizing, project management and policy development and implementation. Most recently, I've been focused on learning Spanish to better engage with the families and students I serve in the classroom.
