Communicator. Fundraiser. Business Developer.As a senior communications and business development professional, I’ve spent my career telling people's powerful stories and helping organizations embrace change and harness its power to reinvent, innovative and grow. For me, work is about passion. My ideal is working on a cause or with an organization that I believe in and that drives me to do the high quality work I’m known for. It’s never about doing 'just enough.' It’s always about going above and beyond to deliver work that exceeds expectations and makes an impact.I thrive on teams of smart and highly motivated people who want to make a difference. Life is short. I take my enthusiasm, strong leadership skills, and intuitive sense for market trends and long-term directions and translate it into organizational success.'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.'- Margaret MeadCompetencies:- communications- fundraising- business development- marketing- event marketing strategy- sales- training and development- program vision and implementation- retail branding- strategic sales territory planning- channel development
