Favorite inspirational quote:

“A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong.” 

— Tecumseh

Pronouns: she/her

Areas of expertise: digital marketing, project management, tool evaluation, development operations

Causes I’m most passionate about: STEM education for girls, hunger and poverty relief, children, medical research

My fundraising story: In 2008, I was fortunate to be a part of the grand opening of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix where I developed the membership program. I have also held positions at St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance and the Desert Botanical Garden where I supported the development and communications teams with reporting and analytics. Since then, I have been a project manager, specializing in digital marketing and fundraising.

Why I care about helping nonprofits grow:  Individually, we can’t tackle all of the issues that humanity faces, but as a community, we can accomplish so much. I believe that nonprofits serve as our voices when we don’t have the strength to speak up. 

Hobbies: reading and watching murder mysteries, hosting themed parties, board games, food adventures

Unusual talent: I can pick up pretty much anything with my toes.
