Bio
Experienced Associate Director of Development with a passion for supporting higher education institutions through strategic annual giving initiatives. With a degree in International Economics, I bring a strong foundation in economic principles and a deep understanding of global markets to my role. I excel in leveraging this expertise to drive donor engagement and design comprehensive fundraising campaigns that generate vital resources for academic programs, scholarships, and student support. By harnessing data analytics, I identify giving trends and personalize outreach to maximize philanthropic impact. Collaborating closely with stakeholders, alumni, and volunteers, I foster a culture of giving and ensure the advancement of educational institutions' missions. With a keen interest in economics, I continually explore opportunities to integrate economic principles into fundraising strategies. Let's connect and explore how we can create transformative change together.
