My Background

Before launching my consulting practice in early 2016, I served as Chief Development Officer of the National Council of Jewish Women, a national membership organization with 90,000 members and supporters in over 60 chapters across the U.S.
I previously served as the lead fundraising professional for the International Center of Photography was the first-ever development director for Repair the World, a national nonprofit promoting volunteerism by Jewish young adults, and Publicolor, an innovative youth development after-school program.
I began my nonprofit career building and ultimately leading the development special events department of the NYU Medical Center (NYU Langone), where I designed and launched flagship events and led a high-energy team that planned and implemented hundreds of benefits and cultivation events annually.
Over the years, I also served as a special events database developer for the Central Park Conservancy, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York.
Prior to joining the nonprofit sector, I managed major conferences and events for the ABC Television Network and wrote, directed, edited, and produced nonprofit and corporate videos for The Equitable, Starlight Children’s Foundation, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the New York City Housing Authority.
Through the years, I have served as an occasional panelist, moderator, and instructor in the areas of fundraising and board development, and I served on the Selection Committee of the New York City Nonprofit Excellence Awards. I am a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and a mentor in AFP-NYC’s Mentoring Program for rising development professionals.
