For more than 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of nonprofit leadership, strategic fundraising, and community building. I began my career in documentary television—earning a regional Emmy along the way—but quickly found my true calling in the nonprofit sector, where I’ve helped organizations raise millions of dollars, revitalize stalled development efforts, and build meaningful relationships with donors, boards, and community partners.

As a leader, I thrive in environments that call for both creativity and strategy. I’ve led capital campaigns, transformed annual fundraising into year-round engagement, and built cross-functional teams that collaborate with heart and urgency. I believe development is far more than just dollars—it’s about storytelling, connection, and shared vision.

At Jewish LearningWorks, I’m honored to support educators and elevate the essential work they do. Through inclusive training, mentorship, and community, we’re helping ensure the next generation experiences the richness and meaning Jewish learning has to offer.

Outside of work, I’m deeply grounded by my family—our weekly dinners are sacred. And while I love to knit, crochet, cook, bake, and fly fish, there’s never quite enough time to enjoy them all (though I keep trying). I’m still chasing the dream of combining all five into one magical long weekend—ideally with homemade rugelach and a rainbow trout.
