Favorite Interaction With Students
I would have to say the Spark Change Program because it has been incredibly fulfilling to have the chance to marry my profession in fundraising with students' passion for philanthropy and making a difference in the lives of others.
Most Inspiring Graland Program
The Eagle Fund: Change Makers class for middle schoolers because it aims to give students a hands-on experience where they collaborate with one another and non-profit leaders to make a lasting impact in the community.
Favorite Graland Moment
Receiving the call from Ronni McCaffrey and Josh Cobb, offering me the position as director of development at Graland.
Graland Trip I Love
I have attended the third-grade Chief Mountain trip multiple times, and it's incredible. The third-grade team has done a good job of adapting the trip over the years, adding curriculum components where best placed and timed. The trip allows students to be physical and to enjoy the beauty of Colorado and the health of fresh air. The pace allows students with a range of hiking abilities to succeed, to take note of the landscape and habitats around them, and to be proud of who they are and where they live.
Professional Passion
It is a joy to celebrate teachers, students, and programs at Graland and to speak about them with prospective donors. I am passionate about sharing our school priorities and initiatives with community members who have a philanthropic passion for the school.
Outside Graland I’m...

Life Goal

Fun Fact
I studied and worked in Munich, Germany, and it is my favorite city in the world. Past travel to the Tyrolean region of Europe helped inspire my family's move to Denver.
