One of the best things about doing what I do is getting to know folks who are doing the work that is changing the world. So let me share a little bit about myself.
My nonprofit journey began at a small AIDS service organization in Northeast Georgia. In the late 1990s. Raising awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS in a largely rural area was no small feat—it required passion, resilience, and creativity. When I first started, my responsibilities included taking out the trash, organizing files, answering phones, and creating a safe, supportive space as I welcomed clients. In short order, I was tasked with leading a new fundraising event as well as managing grant research, writing, and management efforts. This initial experience instilled in me a deep appreciation and understanding of the dedication and flexibility that go into running a successful nonprofit.
By the mid-2000s, my focus shifted towards fundraising data. I cut my fundraising teeth on The Raiser’s Edge, diving deep into data management to drive meaningful insights and actions. Since then, I’ve partnered with organizations of all sizes and types across the U.S., delivering training, consulting, and collaborative work sessions on a variety of fundraising CRMs.
In other words, I’ve done nearly everything you can do in a nonprofit from taking out the garbage to major gift fundraising and everything in between. I get it - the pain points, the stress but also the joys, the successes.
I'm always excited for my sessions with Ed. Each week I learn something new!
