With nearly 15 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I lead with a focus on fundraising and development, board engagement, staff development, and partnerships. I have a proven track record of increasing revenue, donors, and funding opportunities for various causes and organizations. In my role as the Chief Development Officer at Morris Animal Foundation, I managed the annual revenue strategy, vision, and goals for a 12-person fundraising department that generated $16M in annual revenue. I built, mentored, and guided a high-performing team that had a 90%+ retention rate over three years and increased revenue by 70%. I also implemented an innovative ARM strategy (acquire, retain, migrate) that grew the annual donor base from 12K to 50K, an increase of 400%+. Additionally, I increased revenue by 59% ($3.7M) over three years by analyzing revenue-generating opportunities and instituting programs that incorporate donors and businesses into the process. I am passionate about collaboration, innovation, productivity, and development, and I bring these values to every interaction with my team, board, donors, and partners. I have a strong ability to cultivate and maintain relationships with diverse stakeholders and community members, and I leverage their needs and skills to manage projects and programs. I am also a lifelong learner who is curious and eager to learn new skills and best practices. I am always looking for ways to improve myself, my team, and my organization, and to make a positive impact on animal health and welfare.
