Why do you do what you do?

I have a deep passion for understanding the needs of an organization and for building meaningful relationships with individuals to meet those needs. I love connecting with organizational leaders who embrace a culture of collaboration and innovative thinking and working together to identify new ways to reach donors in meaningful ways that ultimately further their mission impact.

When I’m not fundraising, I’m…

Enjoying the great outdoors with my husband, two wild boys, and two large fur babies. We spend our time hiking, camping, snowboarding, and playing on the lake. I am a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur – or at least I drink a lot of it – and a major foodie, always looking for a strange and tasty new establishment to visit with my family.
