I have over 30 years of frontline experience building, training, and leading high functioning development and corporate relations teams. During that time, I have successfully built and managed complex, multifaceted partnerships between the nonprofit, public, and private sectors, working closely with companies like Nike, Whole Foods, Texas Mutual, and National Instruments. I have designed and led development efforts for small organizations just getting started to large enterprises like Dell Children’s Medical Center, United Way, and Austin ISD. Having served on a number of local Boards, I understand both sides of the complex space where staff and volunteers have to figure out how to dance together, creating a shared vision and aligning around a common purpose.
