ABOUT

With me, you will find a highly energetic,

industrious, mission-driven professional

with a B.A. in Mass Media Arts. I have

extensive knowledge of philanthropy, as

well as experience in fund development,

donor cultivation, and fundraising strategy

tied to a mission. I have 10+ years of

experience in friend and fund raising in the

healthcare and education sectors. I have

worked in a diverse range of non-profit

organizations, including social service

agencies, educational institutions, and

cultural organizations.

As a mission-driven individual, I am

committed to advancing the goals and

objectives of organizations. I believe that

philanthropy plays a critical role in

supporting the work of these organizations

and building strong communities (i.e.

Howard University Hospital, Magic Johnson

AIDS Benefit and the Cancer Society

Leadership Board). I am passionate about

developing relationships with donors and

supporters and creating innovative

fundraising strategies that align with the

mission and vision of an organization.

In my former role as a Business

Development Consultant, I have

demonstrated my ability to design and

implement successful fundraising

campaigns, build and maintain strong

relationships with donors and stakeholders,

and develop compelling fundraising

proposals and materials. I have also worked

closely with board members and volunteers

to engage them in fundraising efforts and

support the organization's overall

development goals.

As a highly motivated and results-oriented

individual, I am committed to delivering

high-quality work and achieving

measurable results. I have excellent

communication skills, both written and

verbal, and can effectively communicate

the impact of non-profit organizations to

diverse audiences.

Thank you for considering my application. I

am confident that I can make a valuable

contribution to your organization and I look

forward to discussing my qualifications

with you."
