“I am a Director of Development at Rice University, where I have been working with alumni and families raising philanthropic gifts for over four years. In my capacity as a major gifts officer, I am responsible for developing and implementing strategies to raise gifts of $100,000 or more to realize the goals of the university from individuals who want to make a deep impact through their giving. I represent Rice in the Southeast US, in “normal” days traveling 50% of the time across 13 states. I spend the majority of my days in individual meetings with donors, sending lots and lots of emails to set up those meetings, and working with internal partners to bring gift conversations into reality.”

“Every day I work to educate more and more students, school staff and parents across Texas. I am typically writing preventative education curriculum, finding the newest personal safety information and statistics, and meeting with amazing community partners like United Against Human Trafficking or the FBI to work together to keep citizens informed and educated. Providing students with information to make good decisions and giving them a voice and platform to speak openly about issues they face is the best part of my job!”
