I bring more than 30 years of fundraising and nonprofit leadership experience, with deep expertise in healthcare and higher education advancement.
Most recently, I led philanthropic strategy for a multi-hospital healthcare system in Maine, where I completed a successful $21.5 million capital campaign that funded a new health center and expanded emergency services across a rural region. Across my career, I've secured over $65 million in philanthropic support and built high-performing development teams.
I hold the CFRE credential and have served in advancement leadership roles at MaineHealth, Maine Maritime Academy, and College of the Atlantic.
I live in Blue Hill, Maine with my husband. I have three grown stepchildren and four grandchildren. When I'm not working, I'm usually in my garden, cooking, working out at home, or looking for good reads for my next trip to Cat Island in the Bahamas.
