I’m an award-winning creative strategist with a decade of experience at the intersection of marketing, communications, and fundraising. But a skillset like that isn’t built over night.

Originally from Connecticut, I am proud alumnus of Syracuse University. Following college, I proudly served in AmeriCorps VISTA, working with youth in the foster care system on a college access initiative. This opportunity ignited a lifelong love of service and a dedication to helping others.

Following AmeriCorps, I entered a fulfilling career as a communications lead for higher education development, eventually spearheading fundraising communications at Providence College. My professional highlights include leading the communications for a $1.2 million, award-winning giving day, planning and executing the marketing strategy for the college’s best-attended Homecoming celebration, and supporting over $15M in gift revenue through good storytelling. While at Providence, I completed an MBA with a concentration in marketing.

After the pandemic, I took a two-year professional hiatus to raise my daughter, Elline, and travel the country with my family, living full-time in a 1976 Airstream trailer that we painstakingly renovated. Our family settled in New York City in 2024, and I welcomed my second daughter, Zoe, in early 2025.

Most recently, I developed philanthropic communications for the Institute of International Education, sharing the stories of individuals impacted by the world's largest crises and creating an environment for international students, scholars, and artists achieve their educational goals. During my tenure, which was cut short due to the USAid cuts, 
I introduced digital advertising strategies to increase online giving by 28%, utilized GA data to rebuild the philanthropy web properties, and developed retention strategies to help the team outpace industry standards.

I am now on the hunt for my next professional opportunity. And while the path has been winding, my desire to help others has never wavered.
