1. Founder & CEO

   Gold 4 Good Pbc

   Sep 2025 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   I know firsthand how difficult fundraising can be for nonprofits. For more than a decade, I worked as a professional fundraiser, navigating the challenges of annual campaigns, donor events, raffles, auctions, and everything in between. I’ve seen Executive Directors and Development teams wrestle with the constant need to keep donors engaged, often exhausting every option in search of fresh ideas. The truth is simple: there is no mission without the means.Before stepping fully into fundraising, I spent years as a jewelry business owner. I always wanted my business to give back, but the right model for doing so never fully clicked. When I retired from the jewelry industry in 2016, I began bringing my business knowledge into the nonprofit world. I immersed myself in the field—fundraising committees, donor meetings, strategic campaigns, and training sessions—learning the realities of how challenging and vital fundraising truly is. That experience shaped my deep respect for nonprofits and the critical work they do.The idea for Gold4Good came from combining these two parts of my journey. I realized there was untapped potential in transforming unwanted jewelry into something more powerful: the ability to change lives. By founding this public benefit company, I created a way for anyone to support causes they care about—children, education, animals, poverty, hunger, the environment, health, science, inclusion, equity, and more—without straining their day-to-day resources.Gold4Good is cause-agnostic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly. People everywhere want to make the world a better place, but often feel limited in how much they can give. With Gold4Good, a forgotten necklace or unused ring becomes a meaningful contribution, a bridge between personal possessions and collective impact.Your old jewelry can become a life-changing gift to the organizations you love most. If not now, when?
