I'm excited to join this community to learn from fellow environmental fundraisers and communicators! A little about me, I have been working with nonprofit organizations for over a decade, and it's really what I was born to do. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of positions related to program development and implementation, volunteer management, communications, fundraising, and marketing. I have had the privilege of working, studying, volunteering, and learning from incredible organizations changing local and global landscapes. I am committed to doing my part to help nonprofits grow and maximize their impact, especially those that are helping keep our planet healthy.
