Experience

1. Director of Development

   American Heart Association

   Jan 2020 — Present · Duluth, MN, US

   I am the Duluth and northern MN representative for the American Heart Association, building relationships and inspiring passionate volunteerism and philanthropy in our community. I organize fundraising events like the Northland Go Red for Women and Northland Heart Walk in Duluth. I help teach Hands Only CPR to area businesses, have worked in the past to coordinate our Kids Heart Challenge program in area schools, and recently took over managing the Lakes Area Heart Walk in Detroit Lakes! There are a lot of details to the work I do on any given day. Mostly I am an advocate for heart and brain health, helping to fund the fight against heart disease and stroke, and working relentlessly to help people in our communities live longer, healthier lives!
