Bio

Creative entrepreneurial nonprofit leader with over twenty years experience in development and nonprofit executive leadership. 

I've had the honor of working directly for such luminaries as President Jimmy Carter, and eBay's Pierre Omidyar, Jeff Raikes, Scott Oki, as well as Bill and Melinda Gates and Bill's amazing dad - Bill Gates Sr.

I'm also the daughter of an Iowa farm boy and believe in hard work, integrity, transparency, facing uncomfortable truths, and a good laugh. Development is the business of saying thank you and you can never say thank you too often.
 

Specific areas of expertise: having the tough conversations around death and dying, legacy planning, estates, and complex giving during ones lifetime - donor advised funds, etc. 

Personal causes: preeclampsia and maternal health, mental health - schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, depression; breast cancer, leaving a legacy, turning obstacles into opportunities.
