A team in tune with your mission

I’m a builder and doer with a track record of helping nonprofit leaders quickly grow revenue past the $10M mark.

My most productive hour: 5 AM

With 15 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I help social impact-minded leaders like yourself develop and operationalize their marketing and communications strategies to rapidly scale revenue.

Claim to fame: I’ve eaten a meal in the same room as Amy Pohler, Pink, Jane Hamilton, Shia LaBeouf, and Tyra Banks. None of them asked for my autograph.

I am a seasoned nonprofit leader with deep experience in operations, program development and management, fundraising and finance. As CauseMic's Chief Growth Officer, I provide strategic leadership and ensure exceptional delivery of consulting services to our nonprofit partners.

Favorite karaoke song: Paula Abdul - Straight Up

I love supporting clients with high-quality visual design, and I care deeply for mission-driven organizations. In particular, I’m passionate about the environment and enjoying the outdoors responsibly.

Weird quirk: I spend hours every week exploring Google Maps.

I bring decades of experience from my previous roles as a senior copywriter and co-founder at an ad agency to reach more nonprofits with CauseMic’s services.

Favorite karaoke venue: inside my car driving on the open road.

Hailing from a background in both nonprofit development and immersive experience design, I’m focused on your Salesforce org: designing intuitive solutions, building automation, training users, and above all, delivering a system that helps your organization meet its goals.

Influencer status: My cat has almost 4,000 Instagram followers... and most of them are other cats. 

With a background in building marketing strategies for Fortune 500 companies, I bring data and creativity together to make your marketing campaigns shine online.

Last Meal: The entire serving dish of Panda Express orange chicken. No rice required.

Designer, developer, and general dilettante—if you need it to be on a computer and/or look good, I've got your back.

We all make mistakes. Sometimes we learn from them: I've played saxophone in a ska band. More than once.

I’m the glue. Translation: I’m your dedicated marketing project manager who ensures your marketing campaigns ⁠— everything from paid media to website redesigns — run smoothly and cohesively.

True confession: I may be mildly lactose intolerant, but pizza is a lifestyle choice.

With an extensive background in nonprofit development operations, I'm dedicated to making sure your needs are met as we move from your Scale Session to your Rapid Growth Plan. In the background, I work to make sure your needs are met without exceeding your budget.

Sharks as pets? I named my dog Finley so I could call her "Fin" — I love sharks! 

Far from my hot minute as a Hollywood literary agent and then New Yorker staffer, my journey as a nonprofit devotee has resulted in a diverse skill set involving fundraising at all levels. I thrive on crafting innovative solutions after a bit of deep thinking and look forward to helping every CauseMic client grow.

Life-Hack Maniac: I’m always on the lookout for the next tool or philosophy to make life better.

I should have more arms for keeping all the balls in the air, but amazingly, I only have two, which it turns out is enough to manage accounting, HR, and operations to ensure you get the best of everything our team has to offer.

After-work hobby: I volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

I'm the bridge between Marketing and Tech here at CauseMic. I'll cut through industry jargon and ensure your team is able to optimize for your goals within your tech stack.

Step aside, Michelin Guide: Need to know where to eat or drink in Portland? I've got your back.

Just call me your “technology wizard.” From Salesforce and beyond, I manage end-to-end CRM migrations, ESP implementations, integrations of all sorts and for all manner of systems, all the way up to full-scale digital transformation for organizations like yours.

Formerly known as: My nickname in college was Ruthless and Toothless.

I take the axe to corporate-y buzzwords and brand ego because people deserve simple conversation that gets to the point and puts them first. I’ve snapped a lot of pencil tips helping causes reach for the stars. But my favorite challenge is developing the voice for a mission that people can relate to, feel excited to support, and are ready to follow wherever it goes.

Blooper reel: One night while on an unexpectedly bumpy flight, I stumbled and rolled out the open door at the tail end of the plane. I had a parachute, but bouncing my way out and getting my legs tangled in the risers wasn’t part of the plan. My platoon found it hilarious.

Pulling from two decades of leading market research projects for Fortune 100 companies, I help nonprofits identify what motivates their donors to give.

How I refuel: When not nerding out, you can catch me slurping noodles from my favorite Portland food cart or Singaporian hawker stall.

I leverage a strategic and holistic approach to enhance processes, foster stakeholder relationships, and drive successful outcomes. With a communications background, I blend expertise in managing complex projects spanning data management, digital/print marketing, and events.

Obscure Passion: I once watched 66 Nicolas Cage films in one year.
