No Substitute For Passion

Major responsibilities at Children’s Bureau: Senior management responsible for fundraising and public relations. Oversees agency operations ($20 million annual operating budget), volunteer leadership recruitment, and development of boards of directors and trustees.

Why fundraising: “With an undergraduate degree in psychology, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I knew I didn’t have the skill set to be a social worker or teacher, but I always wanted to be part of helping people change their lives.”
