About Me
My path to fundraising started in an unexpected place.
My path to fundraising started in an unexpected place. As a classical musician touring Europe, I discovered the power of connecting people and inspiring support. That experience led me into fundraising for the performing arts, and eventually to working with universities, youth organizations, and community-led initiatives. Along the way, I’ve learned from both Fortune 500 companies and local businesses, gaining practical insight into what makes corporate partnerships work.
