Associate Director, Philanthropy Programs (Affinity)

Phillips Academy

With Phillips Academy I returned to an Alumni Engagement role, overseeing a larger territory. I managed 10 accounts of active alumni volunteer committees, comprised of 15+ members, and engaged constituencies in the three largest regions: NYC, Northern California, & Southern California.

I executed 60+ unique events to drive customer engagement and new revenue generation opportunities that impacted over 6,000 constituents and achieved a benchmark 10% increase in unique engagement through the execution of bespoke, complex programs and targeted outreach through digital and social media communications.

Assistant Director, Alumni Engagement

Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce

Familial obligations required my return to MA. I was connected to the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce, who needed a part-time Membership Coordinator. This role was mutually beneficial as I was able to help boost their revenue while fine-tuning my sales and networking skills and exposing myself to the local business community.

In my tenure, I personally closed 80% of new memberships, boosted retention and performed membership-to-benefit analysis; increased revenue for Chamber, and brand awareness and value for clientele.

Requiring full-time work, I accepted a role in the education industry again and remained a volunteer with GHCC.

Membership Coordinator

Occidental College

Seeking a different application for engagement, I moved to LA and accepted a role with Occidental College as the Assistant Director of Alumni and Parent Engagement. The goal for this role was to create and maintain involvement and a sense of ownership among Alumni and student-body parents of the College. 

We developed and implemented nationwide, strategic engagement plans for more than 22,000 constituents from 10 regional alumni chapters and 12 alumni affinity groups. This required the recruitment, training and management of a team of over 20 volunteer leaders who, in turn, executed engagement events. A point of pride for me was the creation of 10 identity-based groups to support on-campus collaboration and scholarship fundraising efforts. These groups were vital to increase visibility, awareness, and engagement among the diverse alumni body and offering more opportunities for inclusion.

Assistant Director of Alumni And Parent Engagement

With 15+ years of diverse experience in non-profit, education, SaaS, and media, I bring a ton of valuable insights and diverse viewpoints to customer success, advocacy, and enablement. I'm a pro at communicating across different platforms and connecting with people wherever they are. In conversations, I always bring empathy into the mix. It's not just about explaining what's important, but also why it's crucial for both the customer *and* the company.

My boundless curiosity has made me an exceptional relationship builder, a colleague who cares deeply for others, and an enthusiastic collaborator who is obsessed with all things Customer Experience.

Whether I’m talking to a customer or collaborating on a project, my mission is to:
⇢ Quickly understand the end goal
⇢ Uncover the pain points
⇢ Get creative on strategic solutions
⇢ Empower others

I was the first non-cheerleader in my high school history to be named “Most Spirited” in the yearbook superlatives.

(I can’t point to any records specifically, but there aren’t any records refuting it either, so…)

I guess you could say my enthusiasm for customer success and advocacy is just a part of my DNA. (But I’ll also bring the pom-poms to meetings, just in case.)

If you’re looking for someone who can communicate value, translate customer feedback into actionable insights, loves strategizing on how to make the most of a product, and isn’t afraid to ask lots of questions - let's connect!
