I am a curious person, and I love to discover/study/experience new things, both professionally and personally. I continue to be inspired by the young women I met at Girls Inc., many who have overcome obstacles and move me with their sense of purpose as they pursue their dreams.
In 1999, when I started the Worcester State master’s program, I sat with my son and daughter (then 11 and 7 years old) at our dining room table to complete our homework. Over my four years of study, I gained practical experience and built essential skills that gave me a strong foundation to be successful.
As a professional fundraiser, I’m passionate about making a difference for local nonprofit organizations and the individuals they serve. My favorite project to date was as project manager of Worcester Historical Museum’s 2021-22 exhibit PRETTY-POWERFUL: 100 Years of Voting & Style—a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of U.S. women who fought for the right to vote. This exhibit acknowledged that it wasn’t until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 that women’s right to vote was protected, though voting rights and voter suppression remain an issue today.
