About me
I'm a devout Christian and seasoned professional with a fervent dedication to advancing meaningful causes through strategic fundraising. With over two decades of experience, I've honed my skills in grants, major gifts solicitation, donor relations, and capital campaigns. My journey began with grassroots organizations, where I doubled donor contributions and implemented innovative fundraising strategies. Over the years, I've led successful capital campaigns, secured substantial grant funding, and cultivated lasting relationships with major donors. My passion lies in empowering nonprofits to thrive, and I've been privileged to teach and mentor others in the realm of fund development. I find fulfillment in leveraging my expertise to make a tangible difference in the world, one philanthropic endeavor at a time. But my most important roles in my life is being a child of God, a wife, mother, and grandmother. -

Hobbies and interest
In my free time, I find joy and fulfillment in a variety of activities that reflect my diverse interests and passions. Foremost among them is my deep commitment to serving the Lord, which permeates every aspect of my life and spending time with my family. Additionally, I love to dance!
When I'm not engaged in worship or dancing, you can often find me immersed in the great outdoors, pursuing my love for hunting and fishing. I have a special affinity for crab fishing, where the challenge of the catch is matched only by the delicious reward of a fresh seafood feast.
Beyond the bounds of land and sea, I have a deep-seated wanderlust that fuels my passion for travel. Exploring new cultures, landscapes, and cuisines enriches my understanding of the world and deepens my appreciation for God's creation.
