Not only did my Girl Scout days instill in me a love of traveling, they firmly planted the seeds of understanding about the importance of service and the positive impact that non-profit organizations can have on all kinds of communities. My Jesuit education further shaped my personal beliefs surrounding issues of peace and social justice.
Professionally, my non-profit work experience includes over six years in advancement research management in support of medical and higher education fundraising for public and private universities in New York and Baltimore.
