As an unflappable mission driven leader, I bring strategic vision and deep purpose to my work, helping donors realize their own capacity to transform lives. I take pride in fulfilling donors' aspirations by connecting them with opportunities that make a lasting difference. Together, we create pathways for others to achieve their potential and leave a legacy of hope and possibility.Heres my story:I was born to teenage parents in West Virginia, who, against all odds, gave me a front-row seat to the transformative power of education. My dad, an apprentice engineer at General Electric, worked tirelessly to earn his degree at night with the support of his employer. I’ll never forget sitting in Nippert Stadium as a sixth-grader, wearing my best dress, and watching him graduate from the University of Cincinnati—a monumental day that forever changed the trajectory of our family.Inspired by his determination and the opportunities education afforded us, I’ve spent over 20 years raising funds for educational institutions. My passion lies in ensuring access to education, particularly for first-generation students, because I know firsthand how life-changing it can be. Through strategic fundraising and a deep understanding of what drives donors, I help institutions create opportunities for students to succeed—leveling the playing field and shaping brighter futures.By forging meaningful connections between passionate donors and causes that matter most, I ensure vital resources reach those who need them most. This not only empowers students to unlock their full potential, but also fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility in advancing education.Education changed my family’s story, and now I am driven to help transform the stories of countless others. It’s a mission rooted in gratitude, determination, and the belief that access to education can unlock untold potential and create a lasting legacy of hope and opportunity.
