WORK HISTORY
Senior Major Gifts Officer @Kenyon College
Columbus, OH, US
I currently help donors accomplish their philanthropic goals and ambitions through a relationship with Kenyon College, a highly-selective, private, residential liberal arts college founded in 1824. This includes securing major, principal, and planned gifts at the level by building individual strategic plans for engagement and cultivation, managing an existing portfolio of approximately 100 donors and prospects, making direct solicitations and stewarding donors through public and private recognition. My major gift work is focused on the major metropolitan areas of Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, and the state of Florida. As an extension of Kenyon\'s celebration of 50 years of coeducation, I launched the institution\'s first women & philanthropy initiative, Kenyon Women Giving Back, with Kenyon alumnae who understand why women\'s philanthropy is important and should be celebrated. This initiative created and funded over $600K+ for the institution\'s first scholarships designated for Kenyon women.
