Fundraising

Overview

At age 19, I was hired as the youngest national Development Director for the Boy Scouts of America, now known as Scouting America. As one of the first female Eagle Scouts, I was solely responsible for charitable giving from San Francisco to San Jose, California.

Over a year, I raised $750K for charity, managed 5 capital projects, and hosted two fundraising events.
