Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE)
The Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) distinction is an internationally-recognized credential that attests to the executive's knowledge, skill, and achievements as a fundraising professional based on current and valid practice-based standards.
I earned this credential, and continue to recertify every three years, as a confirmation and promise to my donors that I am a skilled, knowledgeable, and ethical steward of their generosity.

Puzzles, Relationships, and Stories
Over the past decade-plus of success in the non-profit sector, I have honed my specialization in developing and implementing comprehensive institutional grant relations systems, strategy assessments, project management and coordination, proactive grant tracking, and corporate/foundation relationship management.
In this role, I am able to marry my love of identifying and unifying separate pieces of the same solution -- whether that is by identifying and illuminating the similarities between two organizational mission statements that can better move ahead together, or whether it is pairing passionate and philanthropic people with the particular cause they treasure -- with my desire to puzzle words together in just the right way so the resulting story is meaningful, persuasive, and inspiring.
Truly, I have formed my life around collecting misplaced pieces in all their different forms, joining them, and thereby creating art and meaning.
