About

Donor retention rates are flat out abysmal. Less than 20% of new donors renew. 

I will help you dramatically improve retention rates and raise more money! 

Are you struggling to increase individual donations? Are you uncomfortable asking corporations for support? Too busy to engage with the media or unsure how to get your message out? 

As a former Executive Director and Director of Development, I grew membership 10x by focusing on donor retention, strategic cultivation, and public relations. As a fundraising expert, I will help you raise more money faster. 

What I offer you...

With a background as the Executive Director and Director Development of a nonprofit, I will accelerate the growth of your nonprofit. As the founder of an award-winning startup business, and a former publicist and sales director for a New York Times best-selling author, I bring valuable business expertise to propel you forward. 

My goal is to elevate your nonprofit to reach new audiences and raise more money. We will forge new paths through targeted public relations. 

I’m eager to share the strategies I’ve personally used to help nonprofits and businesses grow, so your organization can thrive.
