As a practiced non-profit fundraiser, I love bringing an organizations mission to life and fueling dreams. Working in annual giving, I have love creating life-long connections with organizations and ensuring sustainable funding for mission-critical programs.I thrive in fast-paced environments where I\'m given the autonomy to work on projects while having the backing and support of a strong team. I excel when working with diverse groups of people who are dedicated to positive change and improving the communities that they are apart of. This allows me to reach my fullest potential and create a genuine impact on those around me.
