Why do you do what you do?

You never know where your career path will take you. More than two decades ago, I accepted a job in the nonprofit sector and fell in love not only with the mission of the great organization but also with direct response as a marketing discipline. I continue to get the oxygen that fuels my energy and innovation from the ability to test and improve results for amazing organizations that are making the world a better place. Every day I am blessed to have the opportunity to make a difference…and that’s why I LOVE what I do!

When I’m not fundraising, I’m…

Spending time with family and friends, cooking Ina Garten recipes, and decorating my new home.
