Bio
Courtney gets it done! I had the pleasure of working with Courtney at Qualistar Colorado, where she excelled as our Director of Development. I was particularly impressed by her ability to prioritize while managing multiple projects. Her use of the grants calendar she developed ensured we were organized and prompt in submitting numerous funding proposals and updating/reporting to funders. Courtney is cheerful and funny, always helping to keep a positive vibe in the office. She would be an asset to any organization needing a personable go-getter.
Courtney has done amazing work for the organization. Without her efforts managing day-to-day operations while also bringing in grants and donations, I’m not sure how our organization would still be running. She is largely responsible for the successes we’ve had over the last 2 years. Courtney is also a delight to work for. She’s upbeat, solutions oriented and will jump on grenade if she has to.
