The Right Fit
Why Me
The Right Fit
Senior expertise
You get senior-level development leadership, seasoned perspective, and practical expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. I can step in, find my footing quickly, and help you communicate impact, inspire support, and grow mission revenue.
No learning curve
I’ve spent years inside hospice, recovery, and human services nonprofits, so I understand how these organizations work and what their donors respond to. That familiarity means less time spent getting oriented and more time spent moving the work forward.
Flexible by design
Get the support you need when you need it — for donor communications, grant writing, campaign messaging, and the everyday development work that helps move revenue forward. Scale up during busy seasons. Ease off in quieter months.
A Partner in Purpose
The right story and strategic messaging can make your impact clear, deepen connection, and help support grow over time. I bring that approach to organizations helping people and communities flourish.
Working Together
My Approach
Working Together
Writing Services
For organizations that need dependable communications support beyond a single project, I provide donor communications, grant writing, campaign messaging, cases for support, and the strategic messaging that keeps fundraising moving.
Together, we discuss your goals, priorities, and timeline. From there, I gather the information needed to understand your organization, audience, and current messaging. I then develop clear, thoughtful content that reflects your voice and supports your fundraising or communications goals.
Fractional Fundraising
For organizations that need senior development expertise but are not looking to add a full-time development leadership role, I work alongside your team to strengthen communications, fundraising strategy, donor engagement, and revenue growth.
I start by asking you about your current needs, goals, and opportunities. From there, I provide steady support, guidance, and written materials as needed to help move your priorities forward. Throughout the engagement, we review progress and adjust the focus as your needs evolve.

About Me
Who I Am
About Me
I’m a philanthropy communications consultant with more than nine years of experience in nonprofit development, donor engagement, grant writing, and fundraising strategy, built on more than 11 years of prior experience in marketing, advertising, and communications.
My work combines donor-centered messaging, grant strategy, direct mail fundraising, impact storytelling, and practical development leadership experience. I’ve held senior development roles within nonprofit residential recovery and hospice organizations, including Director of Development, Vice President of Philanthropy, and Director of Annual Giving.
As Director of Development at the Winston-Salem Rescue Mission, I increased revenue from individual donors making single gifts of $10,000 or more by 40% year over year through strategic major donor cultivation. My experience also includes writing successful grant proposals, developing direct mail fundraising appeals, and interviewing program participants to turn their experiences into compelling stories of impact.
I’m especially skilled at listening deeply, finding the heart of a story, and translating it into messaging that moves donors to respond. I’m your go-to partner for helping nonprofits communicate impact, inspire support, and grow mission revenue.
Based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, I’m a graduate of Wake Forest University with a degree in psychology, a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE), and an active member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
