Grassroots Fundraiser
& Charity Runner

Charity running has let me merge my love for community service with my passion for running. By using various grassroots fundraising strategies and staying deeply connected to my personal reasons for supporting these causes, I’ve raised over $30,000 for two incredible organizations.

Additionally, I was honored to be one of the top online fundraising runners in the 2022 John Hancock Boston Marathon Non-Profit Program. In an effort to motivate and mentor prospective charity runners, I founded the Boston Charity Runners Facebook community, which has attracted over 2.5K members in just two years since inception.

Extensive Non-profit Leadership
& Volunteer Experience

With over 8 years of experience as a volunteer and Board Member for two charitable organizations, I have led fundraising events and community engagement initiatives. This role has deepened my understanding of non-profit dynamics and reinforced my dedication to mission-driven work.

Additionally, I offer 6 years of professional leadership experience at a large non-profit organization.
