I'm the Development Manager at Donkey Mill Art Center on Hawaiʻi Island, where I focus on donor stewardship, membership, sponsorships, fundraising strategy, and building systems that help our small team work more effectively. I'm passionate about creating sustainable development practices that strengthen organizations while keeping relationships at the center of fundraising.
Lately, I've been exploring how AI can support nonprofit professionals by reducing administrative work, improving efficiency, and creating more time for meaningful donor engagement. I'm especially interested in practical, ethical applications that help small organizations accomplish more with limited resources.
Outside of work, I'm a wife and mom who enjoys underwater photography, spending time in the ocean, and continually learning. I love connecting with other fundraising professionals, exchanging ideas, and finding practical solutions to the challenges we all face.
