In my extensive career, I spent the first decade working on the clinical side, working directly with people with disabilities. Then after spending a few years working in the administrative side of museums, I moved into fundraising in 2006 and haven't looked back. I enjoy contributing the mission of an organization in this way. In 2013 a completed a Master's Degree in Nonprofit Management and in 2015, I became a CFRE.
I now work as the Development and Communications Officer for the City of Fremont, CA. It's a unique opportunity because I'm raising money both for the robust Human Services Department for the city, but also for a 501(c)(3) affiliated with the city- the Fremont Family Resources Center.
