I was first introduced to philanthropy as a student at Lyon College. By the time I graduated, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in fundraising. Now, 18 years into my career at Arkansas Children’s, my passion has only deepened.
In my current role, I lead the fundraising strategy and daily operations for Arkansas Children’s Foundation.
In high school, I worked at a Dairy Queen fast food location. It taught me any job can be fun when you have the right team around you.
Give myself permission to take a step back and reassess. I try to give myself the same grace and compassion I extend to others.
The mental toughness to push past failure and keep moving forward.
I have the opportunity every day to impact the lives of children and their families while working alongside an amazing team and incredible donors.
Working alongside a community of supporters to help build Arkansas Children’s Northwest and make a real difference for more than 200,000 children in the region.
Making space for the activities that create an easy silence for me. The best ways to clear my mind are drives with my husband or walking the dogs together.
Making courageous decisions in the face of fear and uncertainty.
