In my role at JDRF, I collaborated on JDRF's One Walk program - one of the top 10 largest peer-to-peer fundraising programs in the U.S. I worked with a diverse portfolio of local JDRF chapters across the continental U.S. - representing $15M+ of the organization's annual revenue - to provide customized, hands-on and real-time program consulting. My work with local chapters encompassed coaching, skill building and strategy development for walk staff, executive directors and other support staff. I also worked on select projects, including JDRF's gaming initiative, Game2Give where I was the project lead for the development of JDRF One World, the first-ever non-profit world in Roblox which launched in Fall of 2020. I also served as the lead for National Walk Teams and Corporate Partners for 18 months in this role.

As Executive Director, I led the strategic development and implementation of NKF's mission in Northern California & the Pacific Northwest. I empowered, engaged and coached a fantastic group of local staff, dedicated volunteer leaders and corporate partners to achieve a shared vision by successfully raising funds and deploying local programs that supported the kidney patient community and impacted overall population health. Our achievements together include: consecutive year-over-year net budget growth; leading the organization's largest mission moment and second largest Kidney Walk program, both with consistant growth; cultivating and securing two national partners for the organization; leading a coalition to represent the patient voice in state legislative initiatives regarding access to care and dialysis treatment; merging previously seperate territories & volunteer boards to result in one cohesive team, who together developed and implemented a 5-year strategic plan.
