I am a collaborative and mission-driven leader with more than 20 years of experience advancing the missions of healthcare, academic, and advocacy organizations through strategic partnerships, fundraising excellence, and patient-centered engagement. Throughout my career, I’ve worked to ensure that the patient voice is meaningfully integrated into organizational strategy and that partnerships across industry, medical societies, and healthcare professionals lead to measurable impact.As Vice President of Development and Industry Relations at the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA), I serve on the senior executive team of a leading national nonprofit, overseeing corporate partnerships, individual giving, and peer-to-peer fundraising. In this role, I’ve helped PHA achieve a 66% increase in revenue in two years, strengthened relationships with pharmaceutical and advocacy partners, and developed innovative programs for patient advisory boards that bring patient insights directly to industry leaders.Before joining PHA, I spent more than a decade at the University of Missouri, where I advanced from Director to Senior Executive Director for Principal Gifts and Campaign Manager. I provided strategic leadership for a $1.3 billion campaign, managed cross-campus fundraising teams, and guided board engagement and major donor strategy. Earlier in my career, I led communications and finance initiatives for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and served in the Office of the Governor of Missouri, gaining valuable experience in government relations, policy, and public communication.I bring deep expertise in strategic planning, fundraising, stakeholder engagement, and change management—and I’m passionate about leveraging these skills to elevate patient perspectives, advance health equity, and strengthen mission-driven organizations.
