Strategic Planning
I believe that strong strategic planning provides the foundation for growth and sustainability. At Har-Ber Village Museum, I developed and implemented the first comprehensive strategic plan, strengthening financial stability, increasing attendance, and expanding regional engagement. At Catholic Charities, I worked closely with staff, clergy, and partners to align development and communications with the agency’s mission and long-term vision. Whether guiding a board through goal-setting, aligning teams during times of transition, or planning a multi-phase campaign, I bring a collaborative, mission-driven approach that ensures organizations can define ambitious goals and achieve them with confidence.
Capital Campaigns
I specialize in leading capital campaigns that inspire generosity and strengthen organizations. As Campaign Director with Lynch Development Associates, I guided 18 parishes to raise $5.8 million as part of a $40 million diocesan campaign, providing coaching, progress updates, and presentations that kept momentum strong. At Catholic Charities, I directed a team that secured nearly $6 million in support of programs and services. Today, at Har-Ber Village Museum, I am spearheading a multi-phase capital improvement campaign to upgrade facilities and expand the campus. I take pride in blending strategy, storytelling, and donor engagement to mobilize communities and achieve transformational results.
Board Development & Governance
I have spent much of my career working alongside nonprofit boards to strengthen governance, clarify vision, and empower leaders. At Har-Ber Village Museum, I guided the board through its first comprehensive strategic planning process, aligning leadership around financial sustainability, growth, and community engagement. At Catholic Charities, I collaborated with board members, clergy, and community partners to ensure development and communications strategies supported the agency’s mission and long-term priorities. Whether facilitating retreats, providing campaign guidance, or coaching board members through periods of transition, I bring a collaborative, mission-driven approach that helps boards lead with confidence and impact.
Training & Workshops
I am passionate about equipping nonprofit leaders, staff, and volunteers with the tools they need to succeed. Throughout my career, I have designed and led workshops on fundraising, strategic planning, communications, and board development, always tailoring content to the unique needs of each organization. At Catholic Charities, I worked closely with staff and clergy to strengthen development and outreach efforts across Central and Western Oklahoma, and as a consultant, I have facilitated training sessions that helped boards and teams align around mission, strategy, and sustainable growth. My approach is interactive and collaborative, ensuring that participants not only gain knowledge but also leave with practical strategies they can put into action immediately.
Fundraising & Major Gifts
I have dedicated my career to building strong donor relationships and securing major gifts that transform organizations. At Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, I led a development team that raised nearly $6 million in less than two years, strengthening donor engagement across Central and Western Oklahoma. As Campaign Director with Lynch Development Associates, I guided 18 parishes in raising $5.8 million toward a $40 million diocesan campaign.
Now at Har-Ber Village Museum, I’m launching its first comprehensive fundraising infrastructure, including a donor database, operational plan, and major gifts program. My focus has always been on building trust, stewarding relationships, and helping donors see the lasting impact of their generosity
Planned Giving
I view planned giving as an opportunity for donors to leave a legacy that sustains organizations well into the future. I’ve spent my career helping individuals connect their values with the missions they care about, ensuring their gifts make a lasting impact. At Catholic Charities, I worked with donors across the region to secure transformational gifts that supported long-term ministries, and at Har-Ber Village Museum I am establishing the museum’s first planned giving program as part of its new fundraising infrastructure. By combining clear communication with thoughtful stewardship, I help donors feel confident that their legacies will make a meaningful difference for generations to come.
Communication & Branding
I believe that clear communication and strong branding are at the heart of every successful nonprofit. Throughout my career, I have led rebranding initiatives, launched new marketing strategies, and built communications programs that strengthened community trust and donor engagement. At Har-Ber Village Museum, I developed and executed a comprehensive marketing and communications strategy to expand visibility and regional reach. At Catholic Charities, I directed agency-wide communications, working with clergy, parishes, and community partners to ensure consistent and mission-driven messaging. My approach combines creativity with strategy—whether through digital content, public relations, or brand storytelling—to help organizations stand out, connect deeply with their audiences, and inspire meaningful support
