I managed relationships with local and national corporations, facilitated volunteer placement and supported Board members’ individual fundraising plans.

At Girls on the Run of NOVA, I increased total contributed income by 27%, collaborating with the Executive Director to steward Board engagement and creating outreach strategies to steward corporate relationships and secure new sponsorships.

 I first joined Washington National Cathedral as the Director of Development & Congregational Stewardship and in my first year I managed a portfolio of 80+ prospects and increased congregational giving by 27%. I was then tapped to lead the Cathedral's most ambitious fundraising initiative to date: A Cathedral for the Future.

While directing the organization’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign in the more than 30 years since the building was completed, I partnered with the Chief Development Officer on a multi-year plan to meet our capital and unrestricted fundraising goals, and to expand the pipeline of new supporters. I partnered with executive staff and board members to engage leadership donors. We raised more than 123% of the 5-year comprehensive campaign goal; securing a total of $185 million.              

I have a Bachelor of Science in Forensic & Investigative Science from West Virginia University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University Honors Program. While there, I joined Alpha Phi Omega national service fraternity and saw the power of local nonprofits to impact their communities. Still an active volunteer, I am currently a Troop Leader with Girl Scouts Nations Capital and the Head Usher at our Episcopal Church.
