I am a Development professional with an educational background in Public Relations. I enjoyed working in non-profit sector of Cincinnati after attending the University of Dayton and have since moved back to Chicago currently working Catholic Charites of the Archdiocese of Chicago. My professional experience spans a wide range of projects, including digital marketing, grant writing, fundraising, and managing individual contributions as well as internal and external organizational communication.

During my career, I have worked closely with community advocates, neighborhood stakeholders, and government officials to create better opportunities for at-risk youth.

I love checking things off my to do list and with the grant writing world being so full of deadlines, I find the work to be very satisfying, even more so when I get to apply for funding programs I really believe in.
