Why you chose Donor Alliance: I chose Donor Alliance because I wanted to be in a position where I was giving back to our community. It didn’t hurt that all the staff I met during the process were so welcoming. I stay with Donor Alliance because of our mission. I’m inspired by the selflessness of donor families, the hope given to recipients, and my fearless coworkers every day.
Tell us about your background: My background comes from the staffing and recruiting industry. I spent quite a few years working for a staffing company doing large-scale outsourced staffing, then moved into more specific Business Services roles. Eventually I made my way up to Executive Recruitment for a variety of industries.
