To me, Beyond Fundraising is so important because I know what it feels like to hold the weight of the fundraising engine—often without the structure, support, or space to do it well.
​
I’ve been the one trying to raise more with less, navigating internal silos, underinvested systems, and the expectation to keep pushing no matter what.
This work is hard, and for so many of us, personal. That’s why Beyond Fundraising isn’t just about tactics—it’s about building a stronger people, frameworks that solve problems and behind-the-scenes heavy lifting.
​
I want to offer the kind of support I wish I had: honest, grounded, strategic, and rooted in support that helps move the needle in growing revenue and missions.

I’ve spent my entire career in the nonprofit sector, mostly with small and mid-sized organizations where being scrappy wasn’t optional—it was essential. We wore many hats, stretched every dollar, and kept showing up for our communities.
​
Over time, I’ve seen how vital fundraising is to advancing a mission. Yet too often, nonprofits doing incredible work lack the time, structure, or support to fundraise effectively. Uncertainty about where to start—or what to do next—becomes a barrier to growth.
​
That’s why Beyond Fundraising is a dream becoming a reality. It’s about meeting nonprofit leaders where they are, helping them build clarity and confidence, and supporting them in taking real, practical steps forward. I believe every nonprofit deserves the chance to thrive—and the right fundraising strategy should feel accessible, not overwhelming. My mission is to help organizations get it right so they can keep doing the work that matters most.
