As an experienced Development Manager, I oversee the Nashville Light The Night event for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), focusing on driving fundraising efforts and engaging the community to support LLS\'s mission to cure blood cancers. With a strong background in fundraising strategy, I work closely with individuals, teams, and corporate partners to develop impactful campaigns and sponsorship opportunities that raise critical funds for research, patient support programs, and advocacy. Additionally, I lead the Executive and Emerging Leaders Challenge, motivating top professionals and rising leaders to fundraise and rally their networks in support of the cause. Passionate about advancing the fight against blood cancer, I am dedicated to connecting others to this life-changing mission.
