I’m a development professional with many years of fundraising leadership in a wide variety of national, statewide, and local public benefit organizations.

My fundraising experience includes capital campaigns, major gifts, annual campaigns, direct marketing, legacy giving, and events. Communications and stewardship that delight the donor are particularly gratifying aspects of organizational development for me. My writing includes direct marketing campaigns, major gift proposals, newsletters, legacy giving materials, and email campaigns.

My expertise extends to the administrative side, as well. I understand budget development, donor databases, personnel management, and non-profit accounting protocols. I have had the great pleasure of managing teams in a collaborative way that support both excellence in organizational advancement as well as individual professional development.

I have led successful advancement efforts for such varied organizations as Sustainable Conservation, California State Parks Foundation, Park Day School, American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter, American Friends Service Committee, and Rosie the Riveter Trust.

I bring an upbeat and calm energy to the workplace, especially valued at organizations experiencing transitions and rapid growth.
