I'm passionate about fundraising and supporting issues related to children/youth, education, people with disabilities, mental health, medical research, and the environment.

Background

A native to San Diego, I graduated from University of California, San Diego with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and a minor in Psychology. I reside with my husband of 21 years, 18 year old daughter, and 3 year old Dachshund.

I began my fundraising career 27 years ago as a Grant Writer for a small San Diego nonprofit. After 8 years, I expanded my knowledge with other nonprofit organizations in other fundraising areas including special events, direct mail appeals, donor relations, and marketing & communications. I earned my Certificate of Fund Raising Management (CFRM) in 2009 and became a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) in 2017, and I continue to build on my nonprofit fundraising knowledge year after year.



I'm passionate about fundraising and supporting issues related to children/youth, education, people with disabilities, mental health, medical research and the environment. I have raised over $22 million for social causes in San Diego since 1997 including:
