I’ve spent my career in nonprofit fundraising, working across small arts organizations, human services agencies, and now higher education. What ties it all together is a focus on infrastructure: the programs, processes, and donor relationships that let organizations grow without burning out their staff or their supporters.
At Creighton University, I lead the Phonathon program and manage a team of student callers. I’m also helping shape the program’s transition into a Donor Engagement Center, which will broaden how we connect with alumni and donors beyond traditional calling.
Before Creighton, I was at Nebraska Children’s Home Society, where I relaunched the monthly giving program, grew Giving Tuesday year over year, and helped lead a CRM migration. Earlier roles at Child Saving Institute and smaller arts-focused nonprofits gave me a generalist’s foundation in operations, communications, and grant writing, which still shapes how I approach the work today.
I’m currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration at UNO, with research interests in fundraising, strategic planning, and evaluation in Nebraska. I’m also a Class 5 graduate of the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands’ Rising Leaders Institute, where I think a lot about what comes next for nonprofit leadership in our region.
Build with Care
Lead with Compassion
Ask what we owe each other.
Outside of work, I’m usually watching a video essay, working through a sci-fi novel, trying a new coffee shop, or hanging out with my cats.
