Aug 2025 — Present · Pittsburgh, PA, US
Throughout my 30-year career in higher education fundraising, I’ve seen the transformative impact strategic investment and collaboration can have when ideas are matched with opportunity. I now want to extend this experience to help small nonprofits and towns across West Virginia and the nation become more competitive for federal, state, and philanthropic grants, assisting them with strategy, problem-solving, and planning for growth. I hope to expand the reach of critical financial resources that too often remain concentrated in our largest institutions.
