Born and raised in New Jersey, I have been a dedicated educator with a passion for fostering learning and growth in young minds. With over 20 years of experience teaching at the elementary level, I have created meaningful relationships with countless students and colleagues alike. I have helped my school and students organize, manage and complete various fundraising events throughout my career and understand that schools are always in need of extra funding. <br><br> Driven by a desire to create an even greater impact beyond the classroom, I have decided to transition into the field of fundraising. Throughout my teaching career, I have demonstrated exceptional communication skills, a knack for strategic planning, and a deep empathy for others. I believe that effective fundraising is not just about securing financial resources but also about building sustainable partnerships and advocating for those in need. <br><br> Helping communities raise funds efficiently can make a huge difference for students and athletes, providing them with more opportunities to succeed. I cannot wait to work with you to achieve your goals!
