As a performance-driven, strategic thinker with experience in operations and fundraising, I have a reputation for being upbeat and highly accomplished. Previously, I’ve served as the Senior Director of Development for After School Matters and as the Director of Corporate & Marketing Partnerships for JDRF Illinois.

 

After graduating cum laude from Lake Forest College with a degree in biology, I worked at Abbott Laboratories. After several years of working in a lab, I determined I wanted more interaction with the public and began my career in fundraising and marketing spending almost a decade at the Chicagoland of Commerce.

 

Additionally, I serve on the Auxiliary Board of Lincoln Park Zoo and on the Board of Directors of Chicago Gateway Green and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Academy.  I live in the Lakeview East neighborhood with my husband and son.​​
