Experience

1. Director of Corporate Engagement

   The Salvation Army Del Oro Division

   May 2023 — Present · Sacramento County, CA, US

   My position as Director of Corporate Engagement allows me to do what I love most: Connecting people who want to make a positive difference in their communities. Each day, The Salvation Army serves thousands of men, women, and children by giving them a measure of hope and opportunity that has been lost to them. We couldn’t do this without our corporate partners who step up to share their knowledge, skills, abilities and resources. As the Director of Corporate Engagement, I find unique opportunities for companies to transform their communities and the lives of the people in them. As the Director of Corporate Engagement, I lead strategic initiatives to raise funds for projects aimed at alleviating homelessness, providing essential care and education for children, and addressing food insecurity within the community. My role involves cultivating relationships with corporate partners to garner support for impactful programs that make a positive difference in the lives of those in need. With a focus on community engagement, I orchestrate fundraising campaigns and collaborative efforts to advance The Salvation Army\'s mission of providing essential services and support to vulnerable populations.I would love to connect if you or your company would be interested in: Identifying volunteer opportunities that would align with your corporate values and mission, determining if an outright gift or gift-in-kind could propel your organization’s connection to your community, or in determining if The Salvation Army could assist in the good work that you are currently doing within the communities that you currently serve.
