I am born event planner & high-fiving fundraising girl on a mission to rally supporters for our Clubs. As a young professional in the Black Hills Area, I strive to build lasting connections and networks through a shared interest. I believe the betterment of our community starts with giving back and creating passion in everything we do. I enjoy advocating for kids and developing and maintaining fulfilling, meaningful relationships with hundreds of donors, volunteers & board members. I love a good party, in fact, I put on 10 stewardship & fundraising shindigs in support of the Clubs. When it comes to fundraising and stewardship, I believe that gratitude is part of the asking, the key to donor loyalty is becoming your supporter's biggest fan, and creativity and personality is the best way to make your organization stand out.At the Clubs, I implemented comprehensive fundraising and development strategies to increase donor engagement and achieve fundraising goals. I did this through the Clubs' annual campaigns, special events, appeals & face-to-face solicitations, grant writing, marketing, social media, cultivation, and stewardship. I worked alongside Unit Directors to help create innovative and inclusive programming for youth. As well as provided administrative support functions to the Executive Director, Board of Directors and three volunteer resource development committees in the communities of Hill City, Lead-Deadwood and Hot Springs. I am passionate about this work and am proud to have served our Club members and communities throughout the Black Hills. I love building community and helping create better futures for kids in the Black Hills.
