As Donor Relations Manager at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) Foundation, I’m excited to advance world-class science and inspire lifelong learning. With 25+ years across industries like telecommunications, healthcare, and nonprofits, my career path led me to SURF in the historic Homestake gold mine in Lead, SD.SURF is America’s deepest underground research facility and a unique "co-working space" for cutting-edge science. Since going underground at the Sanford Lab in 2015, I’ve been captivated by its world-changing potential.My mission is to strengthen relationships with individuals, organizations, and grantors who want to be part of SURF’s future and invite others to support this one-of-a-kind research environment for physics, biology, geology, and engineering.Discover more about SURF’s signature projects, including The Institute for Underground Science at SURF and the Čhaŋgléška Wakȟáŋ ethnobotanical garden.
