My path has not always been traditional (and I like it that way).

​

I’ve managed digital equity campaigns with U.S. government organizations and worked on agriculture and education projects in Cambodia. I’ve advanced tech-focused partnerships with Fortune 100 leaders and supported globally minded young adults interested in becoming tomorrow’s leaders. I recently finished my MBA at the Carlson School of Management, focusing on ESG leadership and the role business can play in moving purpose-driven work forward. It’s a degree I never would have imagined pursuing when I first started my career ten years ago, and yet, like in my professional pursuits, I continue to surprise myself by what is possible when one is curious and willing to challenge the usual playbook.

Career Highlights

My career has given me many opportunities to push the limits of traditional philanthropy and steward impactful partnerships.

Some of my favorites include:

I managed a cross-functional team of senior leaders to pilot and sustain a digital fundraising program for the Best Buy Foundation, now raising $16M+ annually, advancing digital donation capabilities in point-of-sale, and establishing an inclusive governance disclosure strategy. The program also built the Foundation's first standalone web presence and capacity to support independent fundraising.
