Development and fundraising

I build revenue through corporate sponsors, community leaders, and peer-to-peer campaigns, and I connect national priorities to local markets.

Project and program management

I bring a PMP approach to multi-county and multi-state programs: planning, contracts, budgets, risk, compliance, and tracking results against goals.

Partnerships and stakeholders

I lead across teams, keeping volunteers, staff, finance, and outside partners aligned so programs launch and grow on schedule.
