Community

During my college studies in psychology and sociology, I tutored children in underserved communities.

Visiting their homes and seeing the challenges they faced left a lasting impression and deepened my commitment to helping them.

At my first job, my manager asked if I would spend a Saturday at a circus to help push a child in a wheelchair.

That day changed my life, as I have supported children’s organizations - on nonprofit boards, cultivating corporate and high net worth donors - and as a court‑appointed Guardian ad Litem volunteer.

I was especially drawn to organizations that hosted golf tournament fundraisers, since golf has always been a passion.
 

Some of my most meaningful experiences include:

• Tocqueville Society

• United Way

• Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation

• Boomer Esiason Heroes Foundation

• HANDY ("Helping Abused, Neglected, Disadvantaged Youth")

• Youth Automotive Training Center

• LIFE Concepts (“Living in a Family Environment”)

​

Along the way, I was honored to receive the 2009 Kate Platt Child Advocate of the Year Award.

I also trained executive directors of nonprofit organizations at the annual National Society of Fundraising Executives event, now known as the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP).

Below are a select few images from these experiences I enjoyed.
