Title
Associate Vice President for Leadership and Institutional Giving
Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ

I lead the corporate, foundation, and sponsored research support team and serve as the principal grants officer for organizational fundraising at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ. Our role is to provide comprehensive grant seeking and grants management services, and we build relationships with like-minded philanthropic, corporate, and governmental organizations. I like to say that we have a liberal arts dream job, because our work is cross-disciplinary and endlessly varied. Our specialty is transforming great ideas into real world, high-impact projects that advance teaching, learning, research, artistry, and service across campus and beyond. I look forward to connecting with you!

Favorite Spot on campus

Although I do not have a favorite place at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ, what I enjoy the most is strolling across campus on a crisp autumn or warm spring day... there is nothing else quite like it.
