Fundraising Executive for over a decade. Experienced in nonprofit leadership, strategic planning, and donor development. Served on multiple boards in a variety of roles. Passionate about mission-driven impact and community engagement.
I specialize in helping nonprofits create comprehensive donor cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship plans that are tailored to their unique mission, goals, and community. By developing strategies that intentionally connect donors to the heart of the organization’s impact, I help build stronger relationships that inspire continued support. These plans are designed to guide donors through meaningful engagement, from first contact to long-term investment, increasing annual giving and improving donor retention. With a focus on storytelling, data-informed outreach, and personalized touchpoints, I work to ensure that each donor feels valued, connected, and motivated to deepen their support. Whether an organization is looking to launch a new campaign or strengthen its existing development efforts, I provide strategic guidance that aligns fundraising activities with long-term mission-driven goals.
I provide personalized coaching for fund development professionals aimed at enhancing their skills, strategy, and confidence in all areas of fundraising. This one-on-one support includes tailored guidance on building effective solicitation strategies, mapping donor journeys, managing grants, and creating impactful stewardship practices. Together, we identify areas for growth and set clear deliverables, including developing actionable plans to increase donor engagement and giving. Coaching also includes strategic support in identifying and building a strong foundation pipeline, as well as techniques to research and engage potential new major donors. Whether the goal is to increase revenue, expand networks, or strengthen systems, this coaching is designed to meet each professional where they are and help them grow into high-performing development leaders equipped to drive long-term success for their organization.
I support nonprofits in planning and facilitating board and staff retreats focused on developing 3- to 5-year strategic plans that drive mission-aligned growth. Through collaborative sessions, I help align leadership around shared goals, assess organizational strengths and challenges, and identify key strategic priorities. I guide teams through the strategic planning process—developing a clear, actionable roadmap with defined benchmarks, timelines, and accountability measures to ensure follow-through and results. My approach fosters inclusive dialogue, clarity of purpose, and a shared vision that energizes both staff and board members. By the end of the process, the organization not only has a completed strategic plan, but also the structure, tools, and ownership necessary to bring it to life.
