I have an entrepreneurial thinking style that allows for sound decision-making in developing annual strategic financial goals and managing the overall development process and have executed on grants and other fundraising initiatives that have brought in over $5 million for the organizations I've worked for.
I’m a take-charge leader in an organization and have led development teams toward institutional goals as well as raising capital and operating funds for individual projects, and have written business plans that have secured capital for personal endeavors like Campus Video and the North Beach Jazz Festival Store & Gallery. I have initiated and developed relationships with hundreds of individual, institutional and corporate funders, from the Annie E. Casey Foundation to the Zellerbach Family Foundation, from AT&T to Wells Fargo and many more in between.
