Senior Regional Representative for K-LOVE & Air 1 Foundation
Spokane, Washington Area
As a CFRE (Certified Fund Raising Executive) I have spent the past 9 years learning a new field and practicing nonprofit fund development in a variety of organizational settings. I began in Planned Giving with The Salvation Army and then went to a Capital Campaign with the Phoenix Rescue Mission. I have also had experience in telephone fundraising for conservative political groups. From there I was a one-woman development shop for a small private school and am now a Senior Regional Representative for the Air 1 & KLOVE Foundation by serving the supporters of our ministry.
I have enjoyed the role of fund development officer with each of the nonprofits I have served. Fund development is key to a nonprofit fulfilling its funding needs and goals. My successes have resulted from working with supporters to fulfill their giving needs and philanthropy goals. I am excited to connect each donor partner with giving opportunities that result in donor satisfaction as well as furtherance of the organization's mission and vision to positively impact lives.
