TL;DR; Nonprofits do important work, but broken systems make it harder. In every nonprofit fundraising role I’ve had, I naturally focused on fixing these problems. It wasn’t just a need—it was the part of the job I loved most. Before that, I worked in sales and recruiting, where companies invested in tools that made work faster and easier. Meanwhile, nonprofits, struggled with clunky, disconnected systems. That contrast stuck with me. I started Good Soup to change that. I saw early on how the right support can transform lives—watching my family rebuild as refugees. Now, I help nonprofits streamline operations, reclaim time, and focus on what matters most. 💡 Let’s chat: www.goodsoup.dev —— The Longer Version I’ve always loved technology and helping people do their best work. Maybe it started when my dad took me to electronics stores on weekends, where I’d wander the aisles, fascinated by new tech. Or maybe it started earlier, watching my family rebuild their lives from scratch after coming to the U.S. I saw firsthand how the right support and tools can change everything. For a long time, I thought I’d give back through nursing. After battling cancer as a kid, I knew how much the right support mattered—not just in care, but in making people feel safe, seen, and capable. That stuck with me. I wanted a career where I could help people thrive. My work took me from sales to recruiting to nonprofit fundraising. In corporate, I saw how businesses invest in seamless tools and efficient processes. Nonprofits, despite their critical work, often got left behind—stuck with outdated systems that slowed them down. I’ve seen fundraisers spend hours moving donor data because their systems don’t talk to each other. I’ve watched teams drown in spreadsheets. I’ve met nonprofit leaders frustrated by software that makes their jobs harder instead of easier. I love fixing these problems—finding the right tools, creating better workflows, and helping nonprofits reclaim their time so they can focus on what truly matters. That’s why I started Good Soup—to help nonprofits get the systems they deserve, without the frustration. Most people don’t love dealing with tech, operations, or workflows. But I do. And if I can make someone’s job easier, that’s a win. 💌 Let’s start: www.goodsoup.dev
