Corporate Fundraising
Working in the nonprofit sector has expanded the way I use my creativity, strategy, and communication skills to drive real-world impact.
​
Since 2019, I have led and supported high-level corporate fundraising initiatives, bringing together storytelling, design, and production to create experiences that resonate. Collectively, this work has raised more than $5 million dollars in support of critical community programs and essential services.
​
Below is a selection of corporate fundraising projects that I’m especially proud of—each one reflecting my approach to thoughtful, purpose-driven work.
