In case you want to know more...
I am a proud alumna of Memorial University of Newfoundland, holding 3 degrees: a Master of Business Administration, a Master of Science, and a Bachelor of Science. My combined background in business and science gives me a unique perspective and understanding of the academic and healthcare sectors.
I believe in giving back to my profession and my community - I'm an active volunteer in a variety of professional and community organizations. I have served as a member of Rotary International and I'm currently a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), a member of the Board of the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy Canada, and the Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP). I also volunteer with Puppets Up!, serving as the sponsorship lead for this unique festival in Almonte, Ontario.
​
I love to work with my clients and their boards to plan and build strategic fund development programs, develop relationship-based fundraising skills, conduct planning and readiness studies, and help win comprehensive and capital campaigns. I plan and facilitate board and staff retreats, provide custom training programs and fundraising coaching to build skills and teamwork that lead to more effective, elevated levels of fundraising.
​
In addition to my solo consulting practice, I am a Senior Associate with ViTreo Group, a nationally recognized non-profit leadership and development agency.
I’m here for my clients, wherever, whenever.
Whether it’s campaign planning, major gift strategy or working with your board, I'm here for you.
I know there seems to never be enough time to manage people and programs to deliver on your charity's mission plus do thoughtful planning and donor cultivation, solicitation and stewardship. If you are an ED in a small shop, you may feel like you only get to fundraise off the corner of your desk. I’m here to help you get it all done - to raise more money and to feel good about doing great things! If you’d like to learn more about how we can work together to do great things, book an introductory meeting today.
