Born and raised in Trenton, NJ, I am a graduate of The Hun School of Princeton and Bucknell University.

Professionally, I am a nonprofit leader, fundraiser, philanthropy strategist, and two-time cancer survivor whose career spans more than 25 years in higher education, healthcare, and the arts.

Known for raising more than $200 million, I have held senior leadership roles as Vice President for Advancement, Chief Development Officer, and Foundation Executive Director.

My lived experience with resilience shapes my leadership philosophy: clarity before execution, persistence before polish.

I currently serve as the Managing Partner and Chief Philanthropy Officer of Philanthropy Solutions Group a consortium of marketing, branding, social media, fundraising and philanthropy specialists who meet the needs of various organizations who have needs to develop new fundraising and revenue. We also provide full-time, fractional, interim and remote fundraising.

I am currently seeking a full-time leadership role. If you’re looking for a proven fundraising executive who blends strategic vision with team building, donor engagement, and measurable results, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

Through my platform, “The Philanthropy Desk” I publish actionable insights for nonprofit leaders, boards, and fundraisers seeking trust, clarity, and growth.
