Annual Service Day Leadership and Group Leader

Safe Night After Prom - Precious Child - Junior Achievement

Broomfield Community Foundation

As a lifelong community servant, my soul is filled when assisting others directly or indirectly. It started in my high school and college days while part of student council and sorority leadership.

Below are a few projects demonstrating leadership and commitment to serving our youth and the greater community.

I believe this particular story demonstrates my inherent nature of advocating for others.

At the close of 2022, my immediate community experienced the largest State of Colorado wildfire resulting in 1,000 homes/condos/apartments being destroyed. Quickly seeing how the more affluent impacted families were receiving significantly greater level of GoFund financial support due to their personal network, I wrote a letter to the editor encouraging people also support the vulnerable populations.

Marketing Consultant at the Broomfield Community Foundation

With 95% self-direction, I'm developing and maintaining a communication calendar supporting programs and initiatives. I write content for varying audiences, generate relevant digital newsletters, craft intriguing social media posts and provide creative directive to contracted graphic designer.

The Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life for Broomfield residents by connecting the generosity of donors and power of charitable giving with the impact of community grant making to create a stronger community. This mission is 100% human centered and I quickly identified the website imagery lacked this story telling element.

I've incorporated captivating images and I am now working on building Community Stories of donor motivation and non-profit grant recipient impact.
